This is just damn good and so unnerving.

2/4

The film wants to explore themes of violence, generational trauma, grief, and the possibility of redemption. Instead, it just presents them.

Barron’s Cove is an entertaining revenge thriller drama that offers something new. The fact that the film doesn’t resort to a bright sunny ending was a relief.

Barron’s Cove can get a little melodramatic in this gripping crime drama about a divorced father who kidnaps a boy suspected of killing his 10-year-old son. However, the principal cast members give riveting performances, which elevate the movie.

Starts really good, but goes off the rails in the second half.

Garrett Hedlund carries this crime drama with his emotionally devastating performance, making it impossible to look away even when the plot drags on.

2.5 ⭐️ I won’t review specifics, I’ll just say that people go to AAA baseball games, community theater productions, to see bands with a $5 cover, and watch movies like this. And there’s nothing wrong with that. If you do check it out, I’ll let you know it had a quality ending.

Hedlund is a badass in every movie he's been in, and once again he does not disappoint. This is not good guys vs bad guys, but nuanced and complicated leaving you with deep questions.

It was a pretty good film but hard to watch at times and very intense. I wasn't sure about the ending but checked out a few explanations including a short video of Garrett Hedlund who played Caleb. Give it a look.

Perhaps the saddest movie I have ever seen. It was good but so dark and sad. Hard to swallow that ending. Made me angry.
