This quiet, quasi-biographical modern western about an injured South Dakota rodeo cowboy begins as an intriguing approach to neo-realistic storytelling, but ends up telling a rather rote story. Has great individual moments and some of its non-actor cast are fascinating to watch - but for a film of so few words, far too many are on the nose.
