Let Him Go (2020)
Let Him Go (2020) is an American neo-Western film, directed by Thomas Bezucha and based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Larry Watson. Starring Diane Lane and Kevin Costner, the story is set in Montana in 1961 and centers around retired sheriff George Blackledge, his wife Margaret, their son James, James’s wife Lorna, and infant son Jimmy. One day, while out on a walk, Margaret notices James’s horse wandering alone and becomes concerned. George goes to investigate and tragically finds his son’s lifeless body after he fell off his horse and broke his neck. In 1963, Lorna marries her new boyfriend Donnie Weboy for support with raising Jimmy. However, during a shopping trip together, Margaret witnesses Donnie physically abusing both Lorna and Jimmy. Concerned for her daughter-in-law’s well-being, Margaret goes to check on her at their home but is informed by their tenant that they have abruptly left town.
After packing her bags with the intention of rescuing Jimmy, Margaret is joined by George, although he initially hesitates. They seek help from a local sheriff who leads them to Forsyth, Montana and a nearby shop owner who has ties to the Weboy family. George is taken aback when he realizes Margaret has brought his revolver but she stands firm in her belief that it will be necessary. On their way to Gladstone, they encounter Peter Dragswolf, a young Native American man who offers them food and shelter for the night. He advises them to find Bill Weboy, Donnie’s uncle. The next day, they meet Bill and learn that Donnie’s mother Blanche would like to meet them. At her home, Blanche initially appears friendly but once Lorna and Jimmy arrive, her true demeanor surfaces as she makes disrespectful remarks towards the Blackledges and speaks harshly towards Lorna.
