Fresh on the heels of his well-deserved success with Take Shelter, writer/director Jeff Nichols’ third feature film is a coming-of-age story of two Arkansas boys who encounter a mysterious man on the run and become embroiled in his dangerous mission of love and revenge. In his new film, Nichols’ writing chops and mastery of character development are again on display, with the film combining the elements of magical realism, family drama and slowly building tension of his first two films. His work taps into so many different ideas at the heart of our culture: manhood, adulthood, romanticism, freedom, family, and responsibility. But more importantly, he tells a rich and rewarding story. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Michael Shannon, Sam Shepard and Sarah Paulson with newcomers Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland. (PG-13, 130 mins.)
