Old Henry (2022)

Some of the best work in this film age seems to be coming from the western genre. Old Henry is another example of that. But westerns have fallen out of favour and often they aren't the mega hits they were in the mid 20th century so like many of the amazing westerns that have come out in the past few years, Old Henry had to settle for a platform release that barely anyone saw. But in the age of streaming it's ready to find a new audience. 

Old Henry is a masterful film. It is gripping and powerful all the way through. It's got a tight little story that grabs. you and won't let go. With a lovely little twist that makes it all just feel so satisfying. 

At the centre of this is Tim Blake Nelson, a talented character actor, who breaks through here as a leading man giving a career defining performance.  

Old Henry is available to stream and you should make sure you get to it soon. You will be grateful you did.
