A
great movie about how the old ways and relationships in
a small Texas town are still relevant and having an effect on the
people there today. It's a generational story involving an unsolved
murder of the old sheriff (Kris Kristofferson) from years ago, an
investigation by the current sheriff (Chris Cooper) whose father (McConaughey)
took over for Kristofferson, and the townspeople, not too many of
whom want the truth revealed. Great story about the intersection of
the past and present, with flashbacks and the intertwined lives of
whites, blacks, and Mexicans in Texas.
My Movie of the Year!
