Bitterbrush - Official Trailer

 

Bitterbrush is also a low-key but enthralling example of the simple pleasure you can get just from watching someone perform a complex task with assured competence. That’s present from the opening scene, in which Hollyn and Colie confidently and calmly calm a rowdy horse. (It is also in no small part about the relationships between humans and their working animal companions.) An evocative swan song for two women who have to move on to other things, Bitterbrush makes for a satisfyingly different kind of Western.
