Critics Review
-
“Burns has a gravelly voice that perfectly depicts Latham and the mostly rough-edged characters he encounters. He increases his pace at the dangerous interludes and invokes a well-earned respect for the beautiful but dangerous western landscape. With reference to a broken tape and Latham’s occasional off-mic comments, Burns effectively sets up the interview premise. This unusual frame makes a fairly traditional western seem fresh and authentic.”
