Lone Star
“John Sayles invites you to return to the scene of the crime.”
DramaMysteryWestern
When the skeleton of his murdered predecessor is found, Sheriff Sam Deeds unearths many other long-buried secrets in his Texas border town.
VIBE
A slow-burn mystery unfolds under the vast Texas sky. It's a film steeped in the weight of the past, where secrets fester in dusty towns and the search for truth is a lonely, melancholic journey. Feels like uncovering forgotten history.
