    endearing Zahn

    Troy (Steve Zahn) is a troubled man. He and his child Joe (Sasha Knight) are riding a horse into the wilderness like two cowboys. Joe's mother Sally (Jillian Bell) is besides herself. She calls the police. Her child is missing. Local cop Faith (Ann Dowd) leads the search.

    Steve Zahn is such an endearing actor. He really shows the heart of this character. Everybody is doing good here. Non of the main characters are villains. It's a matter of love, understanding, and tragic mistakes. The movie does seem to be building up to a tragic ending. I can see why filmmaker Anna Kerrigan pulls back and refuses to go down that road. I'm not saying that it's wrong. It's just a bit of a down gear shift.

    Engaging

    It tells an engaging story of acceptance and love. Acting by the child is good, and the scenery is beautiful as well.

    about a child that wants to be themself

    Great movie, with a good storyline. It is about a trans child, but you also can see it as a movie about a child that wants to be themself and not the version their parent wants them to be.

    I can relate to Joe a lot, only I didn't had the courage that young to live as myself.

    Must see.

    Escaping to Pastures New...

    A genuinely honest, brave and contemporary tale of a bi-polar father escaping the confines of societal expectations alongside his young trans son. Great performances, great scenery, candid and incredibly heartfelt - well worth exploring.

    An eye opening

    This is a great movie because of it's story. There are people who dealt and deal with the Trans lifestyle. It is an eye opening and telling you the story that needs to be told. It is not fair to spoil this movie by writing about it but to say that it worth watching if you're looking for a well written story.
