Directed by Potsy Ponciroli
USA 2021
Starring Tim Blake Nelson (Watchmen), Stephen Dorff (True Detective), Trace Adkins (The Outsider) and Gavin Lewis (Little Fires Everywhere), Old Henry tells the story about a widowed farmer and his son who warily take in a mysterious, injured man with a satchel full of cash. When a posse of men claiming to be the law come for the money, the farmer must decide whom to trust. Defending a siege of his homestead, the farmer reveals a surprising talent for gunslinging that brings his true identity into question. *** "Old Henry" is a western to be enjoyed, to provoke ethos, curiosity, and surprise from its audience. Tim Blake Nelson depicts the title character as a man with deep sorrow and secrets and an almost robotic way of moving through his life. He is not necessarily a sympathetic character, but most of all, he is a man of some mystery. His wife has died and left him alone on an isolated farm with only his teenage son Wyatt, played by Gavin Lewis, who seems resentful and alienated. There is a gulf between the two, exacerbated more than might be expected, due to the father's seeming lack of emotional investment in their relationship...

NOTE:
The below
Blu-ray
and
4K UHD
captures were taken directly from the respective
discs.
It is likely that the monitor
you are seeing this review is not an
HDR-compatible
display (High Dynamic Range) or Dolby Vision, where each pixel can be assigned with a wider
and notably granular range of color and light. Our
capture software if simulating the HDR (in a uniform manner) for standard
monitors. This should make it easier for us to review more
4K UHD titles in the
future and give you a decent idea of its attributes on your system. So our
captures may not support the exact same colors (coolness of
skin tones, brighter or darker hues etc.) as the
4K system at your home. But the
framing, detail, grain texture support etc. are, generally, not effected by
this simulation representation.
NOTE:

On their
4K UHD and
Blu-ray,
Shout! Factory offer the option of DTS-HD Master tracks (24-bit) in
either 5.1 surround or 2.0 channel stereo - in the
original English language.
"Old Henry" is filled with punctuating gun violence
plus a couple of nasty beatings and horses. They carry intensity and
depth in the lossless. Crisp separations exist. The
score was by Jordan Lehning (Make-Out
With Violence) plus has Eddie Montgomery performing My Son.
The audio transfer is flawless. Shout! Factory include
optional English (SDH) subtitles on the region FREE
4K UHD
disc and Region 'A'-locked
Blu-ray.
There are the same extras on the
4K UHD and on the
Blu-ray -
only a short featurette with much of the cast admitting that this was their
first western, comments about the genre and the production. There is also a
trailer. |
