Estranged half siblings Haley Lu Richardson and Owen Teague reunite at the Montana ranch where they grew up, their abusive father being in a coma and not expected to live long. An old horse and a Kenyan male nurse help brother and sister work through a painful past. Very good central performances, I knew Haley Lu Richardson was an excellent actress but wasn't familiar with Owen Teague, I hope to see more work from both of them. The supporting characters are also unusually well realized. The film looks beautiful, wonderful shots of Big Sky Country. 'Montana Story' feels like it was adapted from a novela, but was actually written for the screen. Came in not really sure what I was getting, but left very impressed. ***1/2
