Review: (#1) A dirty boy and his horse. Not exactly the kind of design that sells tickets. (#2) It’s a lovely sunset design that captures the beauty of nature, which makes it a more visually pleasing design, but it still isn’t sufficient to really get people interested in the film.

(#3) Another dull poster that has an action element, but not one that’s particular engaging. (#4) The same figure from the first, except more of him, but also less background detail combined with an excessive amount of text.

Trailer Rating: B

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: The trailer presents what amounts to a seemingly rote narrative, though there are some nice touches about family, love, and disappointment to possibly make it a solid performer on the indie circuit.

Oscar Prospects:

It was thought to be an Oscar contender when it was first screened, but has been delayed, which suggests that the film wont’ be heavily pushed.
