'Let Him Go'
(Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Lesley Manville, et al / Blu-ray + DVD + Digital / NR / 2021 / Universal Pictures Home Entertainment)

Overview: Following the loss of their son, retired sheriff George Blackledge (Kevin Costner) and his wife Margaret (Diane Lane) leave their Montana ranch to rescue their young grandson from a dangerous family living off the grid.

They soon discover that the Weboy family has no intention of letting the child go, forcing George and Margaret to fight for their family.

Blu-ray Verdict: 'Let Him Go' is Thomas Bezucha's captivating and heartbreaking family drama that is skillfully executed and is based on Larry Walson's 2013 bestselling novel.

It tells the story of a retired veteran Montana sheriff George Backledge, and his wife Margaret, magnificently played by Kevin Costner and Diane Lane in two sensational Oscar worthy performances, who's beloved son is killed in a freak horse riding accident; leaving behind his young wife Lorna, superbly played by Kayli Carter, and baby son Jimmy.

Lorna soon remarries an abusive man named Donnie Weboy, well-played by Will Brittain, who is viewed by George and Margaret as suspicious. Even more so when he, Lorna and Jimmy move into town away from George's farm.

Concern presents itself when one day when Margaret witnesses Lorna and Jimmy being physically abused by Donnie and then without any word he relocates them to North Dakota to live with his twisted mother Blanche, chillingly played by Lesley Manville in a brilliant scene-stealing performance (let alone the rest of her psychotic family!)

Margaret persuades George to go after them for the sake of their young grandson Jimmy, but when they get to North Dakota it soon turns into a very disturbing and dangerous encounter with the Weboy clan that will have some tragic consequences for both sides.

Chock full of rather astute direction by Bezucha, with absolutely stunning cinematography by Guy Godfree, and a wonderful score by Michael Giacchino, it also features some exceptional supporting performances by Booboo Stewart, Jeffrey Donovan, Ryan Bruce, Adam Stafford, Bradley Stryker, and Greg Lawson.

To say that 'Let Him Go' is one of 2020's finest films is an understatement as if you are a self-proclaimed lover of all-things wondrously cinematic, you simply need to have this new BR in your collection, trust me.
