19. Cut Bank (2015) Film Review

In Cut Bank, Montana (supposedly the coldest town in the country), Dwayne McLaren (played by Liam Hemsworth) is sick of small town life and devises a money making scheme with local mailman Georgie Wits (played by Bruce Dern) to earn a quick buck and get out of town. Dwayne quickly finds out that getting away with this scheme won't be all that easy. Guest-starring Billy Bob Thornton, John Malkovich, Teresa Palmer, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Oliver Platt: this star-studded cast is the makeup of Cut Bank. Shot in Edmonton, Alberta, this film apparently took nearly two years to finish. How did ivy league director Matt Shakman and writer Roberto Patino do in creating this neo-Western? Listen in to find out. Caution: movie spoilers.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/a24otr/support
