Ranchlands

This is a story of one man who comes back to his family after coming out. He was thrown out of the house by his Dad who is now dead. He hopes for a better connection now. There is a mother, a brother and a ranch hand. One can almost write the story oneself. But sometimes the old and tried stories have a new connection when brought up to date. A number of familiar gay tropes appear. But it is never time to drop these and move on. The hurt in a lot of family's lives is too fresh. In this case the familiar becomes comforting and supportive of everyone caught up in old ideas and outdated prejudices.

"Ranchlands" was truly awful. There's nothing good in it: the story is bad, the acting is terrible, and the overdone storyline misses the mark by far. This film is a disappointing rehash of tired clichés and fails to bring anything new or engaging to the table. Save your time and skip this one entirely.

I cannot fathom that this movie was made by the same people who made Redwoods

"Ranchlands" was truly awful. There's nothing good in it: the story is bad, the acting is terrible, and the overdone storyline misses the mark by far. The pacing is painfully slow, the dialogue is cringe-worthy, and the characters are one-dimensional. This film is a disappointing rehash of tired clichés and fails to bring anything new or engaging to the table. Even the cinematography is uninspired. Save your time and skip this one entirely; it's not worth the watch.
