Never Grow Old (2019)

Never Grow Old: Directed by Ivan Kavanagh. With Emile Hirsch, John Cusack, Déborah François, Molly McCann. An Irish undertaker profits when outlaws take over a peaceful American frontier town, but his family comes under threat as the death toll rises.

“This was a bleak movie, yes. Emile Hirsch also had a terrible Irish accent. But despite some of the more obvious gripes about the movie, this one is well worth the watch.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSure, the whole undertaker thing might be a little on the nose, but I love the lessons in supply and demand: Cusack kills, Hirsch buries, and suddenly the Californian gold rush comes to a nowhere town.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnother interesting dynamic was the shifting power dynamics between the sheriff, the priest, and the outlaw.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn my opinion this film is thoughtful, entertaining, somewhat well-acted, and well worth the invested time.”
