Jeff Nichols, best known for his
great Take Shelter, tells a Huckleberry Finn story of two boys on the Mississippi
who befriend a wanted fugitive, but through the friendship learn some hard
lessons on the extent that female emotions can be trusted. Amazing how the
simple story engages till the very end, and portrays some glamorous Hollywood superstars (one
showing up very unexpectedly midway through) in an earthly, mundane light, suiting
the director’s indie style. It’s a harsh terrain, but strangely, except for a
Mafia subplot, no major character is a villain here. So far, the best movie of 2013.
