The Bygone presents a poignant tale set against the harsh realities of modern-day ranch life and reservation relations. It portrays a visually striking yet narratively uneven story that explores deep themes of cultural intersection and conflict, though sometimes the plot seems not as fully fleshed out as it might have been. The acting is solid, especially from the leads who bring authenticity to their roles, balancing the film’s heavier themes with their performances.
