#LET HIM GO MOVIE#
It is a bold movie about good people running up against evil. Once you get over the initial shock that Costner is not getting postured in the same vein, you can accept “Let Him Go” for what it is. Hence, they are likely to expect one version of events and get another one. Fans of Kevin Costner and “Yellowstone” will not miss the parallels between John Dutton’s response to a similar storyline. There is a budding sense of a two-hander in the last act, but Costner does not get treated as a co-star overall.Īs “Let Him Go” unfolded for this viewer, that felt like a sucker punch. Unlike “Yellowstone,” where Costner is front and center, “Let Him Go” is actually Diane Lane’s starring vehicle with Costner along for the ride. Overall, the movie and how Kevin Costner plays into it is unexpected. What unravels is a poetic family feud, a road trip movie, and a love story between two reflective souls in their golden years. The Weboys want the Blackledges to let Jimmy go, and those are not the only scenarios that fit what happens during the nearly 2-hour runtime. Margaret wants her daughter-in-law to “let him (Jimmy) go.” George wants Margaret to let Jimmy go. Hence, their journey to “Let Him Go.” A title that takes on many meanings through the course of the movie.
George’s wife is fervently persistent, though, and George somewhat begrudgingly agrees to find Jimmy. In his mind, the narrative fits too neatly into her desire to have Jimmy all to herself. George is initially reticent and doubtful of his wife’s story. So, what is her plan? Margaret wants her and George to track down Donnie, Lorna, and Jimmy to get their grandson back. Margaret has witnessed the abuse of her grandson and former daughter-in-law in broad daylight. To which Margaret literally takes up arms. Eventually, George and Margaret get cut off from their grandson when Lorna and Jimmy abruptly move away with Donnie. Some time passes, and Lorna remarries the abusive Donnie Weboy (Will Brittain). With the death of James, “Let Him Go” reaches its turning point. James leaves behind a wife, Lorna (Kaylie Carter), and a baby son named Jimmy. George and his wife, Margaret (Diane Lane), soon find their bucolic home life disrupted when their son, James, dies suddenly. Costner stars as George Blackledge, a retired lawman and rancher (sounds slightly familiar).
“Let Him Go” will undoubtedly appeal to “Yellowstone” fans as Kevin Costner does not venture far from that domain. If you have not watched the trailer, the Kevin Costner thriller’s on-paper premise sparks a notion about this film that ultimately does not prove true. In attempting to do so, the adjectives: haunting, painful, shocking, suspenseful, and disturbing are some of the ones that come to mind. It is tough to put “Let Him Go” into words.
