Too Much of Not Enough

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2020

A movie that leaves you feeling completely sad, unsatisfied, and disturbed.

The storyline is disconnected from the start and never recovers. None of the actors were explored with much depth.

The story could have been told as well, or even better, without the rush to include too many characters ( ie: a violent family.) Kevin Costner is an excellent cinematographer. However, even more confusion was introduced with too many gorgeous shots of scenery, horses, cars. And then there were the excessive creative shots, mixed in with random characters who began strong and yet faltered.

If my description reads distracting, that’s on purpose. It’s just like the underlying feel of the movie.

Which character should you relate to: the unexplored marriage; the abused daughter-in-law; the traumatized Native American; the insane matriarch; the culture of the crazed family; the abused grandson; the abused/abusive step father... And which storyline?

Too much distraction and not enough story line - whipped up by an excessive use of trauma.

Even though I really like a lot of the actors, they were not well explored. Their extremes made little sense. Their behaviors; personalities; characters - presented like we already knew them and were just being reminded...lots of necessary guessing to stay on board.

The topic is so important: grandparents and their value and steadfast love. However, the movie lost its way.

Kevin and Diane - please send me my money back for this waste of time. I will never gain the 2 hours of my life back hoping this was going to end up being a great movie. NEVER. Gosh, what an epic fail for a movie - it could have been SO much better! Wait for this to come on Prime for free. I am telling you if you pay ANYTHING for this terrible movie you will be mad at yourself!

A story about a shattered couple reconnecting

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2020

This movie was so much more than I had expected. When I read that the character George was a retired sheriff, I kind of figured I’d be watching a shoot em up film where the good guy dusts off his gun, goes head to head with the bad guy, and is victorious. Nothing could have been further from the truth. Let Him Go is a story about a shattered couple reconnecting through sorrow and loss, and sacrificing even more in the process. When George and Margaret make a decision to save their grandchild, they have no strategic plan of attack in mind nor do they give any thought to the consequences of their actions. They simply let the love in their hearts guide them. There is a certain hopeful innocence to the two of them that lends a realistic feel to the film and takes it a cut above the rest. The ending is both bittersweet and brutal, and will stay with you long after the credits stop rolling. The entire cast was phenomenal.

Great Movie!!! Oscar worthy acting from Costner and Lane.

"Let Him Go" is the best movie I have seen this year. Kevin Costner and Diane Lane star as two desperate grandparents in performances that should be awarded come Oscar time. The movie is brilliantly shot and shows the beauty of Montana and the Dakotas. Diane Lane is superb and Kevin Costner just keeps getting better showing he is still one of the best leading men in movies. Costner seems so natural in this role it is like he is not acting but actually being, and his chemistry with Lane is undeniable and they both bring out the best in each other. If you are tired of every movie being a "superhero movie" or a throw away comedy and want to watch a really good drama; then this movie is for you.

Really lame. Isabel gave an excellent detailed review below. I was so looking forward to this. Disjointed and distracted. Can’t believe I wasted $20 on it, but I love the actors and scenery. The trailer was promising, but it’s a major fail.

Fine acting, but there is not much depth to the film itself. Had I known, I would not have paid extra to see it as an early release.
