I'm working through the Kelly Reichardt filmography. I didn't really pay attention to who was in this but where I watched it had a different image and I saw that there's a brooding Jesse Eisenberg; and I think, no, wait...yes, there's Dakota Fanning; and then a Reichardt staple John Magaro, of course. Great actor.

Thirty minutes in, I'm waiting for John Magaro to show up. An hour goes by, and I find it interesting that Peter Sarsgaard has near equal screen time as Jesse and Dakota, but there's still no Magaro; maybe John is pivotal in the back half.

The movie ends, and I'm like "Well where the hell was John Magaro?" and I look it up, and he's not in it. The guy that I think is Magaro in the image is Sarsgaard. I'm an idiot.

Anyway, it seems that even lesser Reichardts (in my estimation) are still solid and really good. Like Meek's Cutoff (2010), we're plopped into the thick of things and it's pretty tense from beginning to end. I wasn't as moved as just about all the other Reichardt's I've seen so far (maybe waiting for Magaro to show up plays into that), but two hours well spent nonetheless.
