Sundance 2014: 'Young Ones' Review


Michael Shannon is one of the reasons to see the futuristic, vaguely post-apocalyptic Western Young Ones, but he's not the only reason. A wonderfully pitiless tale of a land consumed by punishing drought, the film starts to become almost hypnotic in its bone-dry bleakness. If that's your thing, you'll like this. I reviewed Young Ones for Screen International.
