Limestone Cowboy

About This Movie

Limestone Cowboy presents a raw, emotional exploration of family dynamics, centering on Karist, a father whose delusions lead him to believe he can run for office. The film unfolds in a slow-burn manner, allowing the viewer to sit with the discomfort of his family's struggle. The performances are quite compelling, particularly the way the cast captures the tension of love and frustration that often accompanies a mentally unstable family member. The atmosphere is thick, almost oppressive at times, really lending itself to the themes of ambition versus reality. There's a certain grittiness to the practical effects and settings that ground the story in a very real, relatable way. It’s not your typical drama, and that's what stands out for me.
