VIBE

A dusty, melancholic journey through a harsh, beautiful landscape, this film feels like a campfire tale about two brothers grappling with their violent past and uncertain future. It's a darkly humorous and surprisingly tender exploration of fraternal bonds amidst the brutal realities of the 19th-century American West, with a quiet, reflective soul.
