This was like watching Father Knows Best (salty version) meets MA Barker and her boys! It was a good story that moved along well with the beautiful backdrop of the mountains of the west. There was pathos and you connected with the characters. I like watching a movie geared towards 50+ year olds! Make more.

Let Him Go was a great movie. Costner and Lane are terrific together. It's a slow burn drama that builds up with emotions and intensity, so if you're expecting non stop action, you probably won't like it. The stars play a couple whose son dies from an accident. The widow of their son remarries into an abusive relationship. The stepfather takes away her and her son to live with his crazy family. The kind of people who would probably kill you if you looked at them the wrong way. Costner and Lane, the grandparents of their sons only son, want to get him and the mother back, and get them away from the abusive stepfather. But they have to go through hell with the stepfather and his crazy family to do so. A meeting of the crazy in laws at a dinner table is so tense, you can cut it with a knife. A confrontation in a hotel room and the suspenseful, emotional ending had me on the edge of my seat. This movie has a story and characters you feel for and care about. It is so far, the best movie of the year. Diane Lane gives a beautiful performance. I predict her to get an Oscar nomination. Highly recommended. And ignore the reviews that call it boring. Yes, it's a slow burn, but a great movie. I loved it.

This is a tension-filled story, with terrific acting performances by Costner and Lane, as well as the secondary actors of the Weboy family. Overall one of the better movies I've seen recently. See, Hollywood? It's possible to make a good movie without all the garbage you routinely add in these days (unnecessary cursing/sex scenes, political correctness/wokeness, and talentless actors)! We need more movies like this.
