open range is one of my absolute favorite westerns and ive always appreciated that they cast annette benning (an age appropriate actress) as his love interest and it didnt feel like her character was JUST a love interest

Same - I love Open Range so much, so I'm probably going to give this film a chance, but the trailers didn't really do much for me.
