Not on the level of Wendy and Lucy and Meek's Cutoff, but there's some really effective, tense stuff through most of this. Actual pulse-pounding occurred. I admire Reichardt's patience.

I haven't seen Meek's Cutoff, but comparing this with Old Joy and Wendy and Lucy, it seems to me that Reichardt is improving as a storyteller by leaps and bounds.
Just because...
The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
Petite maman (CĂ©line Sciamma, 2021) mild
The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild
The last book I read was...
The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain
The (New) World
The ending Lazlo lays out in the spoiler tag is fairly terrible, but the rest of this is a first-rate thriller. Kelly Reichardt continues to be better than everyone.
