Fans of mighty natural landscapes should definitely not miss Montana Story. Nor should fans of tightly composed family dramas, as the film revolves around the feud between a brother and sister.

From the acclaimed writer/directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel (What Maisie Knew, The Deep End) comes a neo-Western with an emotional tremor hiding beneath it. Two estranged siblings (Haley Lu Richardson, Owen Teague) return home to the sprawling ranch they once knew and loved, confronting a deep and bitter family legacy against a mythic American backdrop.

“Montana Story, with a few changes in detail, could take place anywhere. The film’s subject is universal: the awesome power that parents exert over their children and the damage they can do. The father still inspires anxiety while comatose. The evil some people do lives after them.” - San Francisco Chronicle
