Tim Blake Nelson is one of my favorite actors and does a fantastic job in Potsy Ponciroli’s OLD HENRY, now playing in select theaters and available on premium VOD.
Old Henry is an action-Western about a widowed farmer and his son who warily take in a mysterious, injured man with a satchel of cash. When a posse of men claiming to be the law come for the money, the farmer must decide whom to trust. Defending against a siege of his homestead, he reveals a talent for gunslinging that surprises everyone, calling his true identity into question.

The father and son aspect of this film makes it a stand out among the genre. Old Henry (Nelson) is a widower trying to raise his son in 1900’s Oklahoma. The balance of keeping your child safe while also letting them learn and grow is never an easy one.
