Montana

About This Movie

Montana is a TV movie that really digs into the complexities of love, land, and legacy. The Guthries, played by actors I can’t recall, are at this tense juncture where their marriage and their ranch are both on the line. Hoyce, with his practical mindset, leans towards selling to the oil company, while Bess embodies that classic Western spirit—she wants to preserve their way of life. The pacing is a bit slow at times, but it builds this atmosphere that's both nostalgic and heavy with the weight of decisions. They used some real locations that add to the authenticity, and the performances have this rawness that makes you feel the tension. It’s not flashy, but there's something grounding about it.
