Reception
[edit]Brendan O'Connor of the Orlando Weekly rated the film 4 stars out of 5 wrote: "Half the film is palpably angsty-broody, so it’s a relief when you find yourself grinning along with the boys as they fall in love with the scenery, each other and the creatures they study."[1]
Pam Powell of the Daily Journal rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that the film is "simply beautiful on all levels: it's a compelling and realistic story which is enhanced by stellar cinematography. On the surface, it's a story about a troubled teen, but there are so many layers that it becomes much more than that. It is a story about life."[2]
Andrea Beach of Common Sense Media rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that the film features a "relatable" story, "solid but not stellar" acting and "gorgeous" landscapes. However, she wrote that the film "loses momentum and can start to feel aimless during some of the long, quiet stretches that mainly bask in the scenery."[3]
Michael Rechtshaffen of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "While undeniably gorgeous, at some point all those sweeping vistas can’t help but feel like a pitch for Wyoming tourism."[4]
