Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2388637/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Beautifully told fable about love and fate in a dusty midwest small town. The cast is exceptional here, and although the story itself has some holes, the drama is compelling and the story taught right through to the end. The film may be a bit arty for some, as the setting is both familiar and non-descript and many details are left untold or unexplained, but overall it is a lovely tragic tale of love, loss and near-redemption.
