Directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel create an utterly absorbing family drama that is as understated as it is heartbreaking. “Montana Story evokes a grandiose style of American frontier filmmaking, somewhere between John Ford and Kelly Reichardt. See it on the largest screen you can find.” –Chandler Levack, Globe & Mail
