Falcon Song (2014)

As a 1980s connoisseur, this gets my approval. If only more typical modern films could be so honest. Falcon Song painstakingly recreates the aesthetic from the era (which may be cringeworthy for some). One thing's for sure, this fantasy western is not joking around with authenticity. You'll have to grasp this concept if you want to fully enjoy. Not quite comedy, but not quite drama. It has that nice glossy cinematography, which is fairly rare in a small film like this. I felt like I was transported to some fantasy bubble where these hyperreal characters are actually commonplace. Not once did the film stop to make fun of itself (well, maybe a bit in the finale, but I won't spoil it). I'm heading to watch Uncle Buck or after this one.
