Ex-con Joe (Nicholas Cage) works as foreman of a group of forestry workers and lives a quiet life alone with his dog. When he meets troubled young boy Gary (Tye Sheridan), he reflectively extends the hand of guidance and friendship; however, the price of his well-intentioned intervention proves to be high. Fresh from the success of Prince Avalanche, David Gordon Green harnesses a powerhouse performance from Cage, electrifying the dark, poignant second instalment of his 'Indie Trilogy'. - Edinburgh Film Festival 2014
