Without using any words, this brief and heartbreaking drama tells the story of a depressed sheriff ready to commit suicide, and proceeds to visually explain his reasoning. This is not at all your standard animated short or western in any sense of the word, it is easily among the saddest films to come out this year. It is a heartbreaking and emotionally draining near masterpiece of animation that, at only 7 minutes, is far more memorable than many films more than 10 times as long.
Not to mention, the animation is beautiful and visually stunning, although I must awkwardly admit that it was pretty messed up seeing such a demented and depressing film that looked like a family friendly Pixar movie.
