Kelly Reichardt once again trains her perceptive and patient eye on
the Pacific Northwest, this time evoking an authentically hardscrabble
early nineteenth century way of life. A taciturn loner and skilled
cook (John Magaro) has traveled west and joined a group of fur
trappers in Oregon Territory, though he only finds true connection
with a Chinese immigrant (Orion Lee) also seeking his fortune; soon
the two collaborate on a successful business, although its longevity
is reliant upon the clandestine participation of a nearby wealthy
landowner’s prized milking cow. From this simple premise Reichardt
constructs an interrogation of foundational Americana that recalls her
earlier triumph Old Joy in its sensitive depiction of male friendship,
yet is driven by a mounting suspense all its own. Reichardt again
shows her distinct talent for depicting the peculiar rhythms of daily
living and ability to capture the immense, unsettling quietude of
rural America.
