Ain’t Them Bodies Saints

After a bank heist goes awry in the Texas hills in the 1970s, robber Bob Muldoon (Casey Affleck) faces a 25-year sentence and a harsh existence away from his newly pregnant wife Ruth (Rooney Mara). Four years later, Bob escapes prison in search of the family he left behind, but a deputy shot in the botched robbery (Ben Foster) has eyes for Ruth. Stunningly photographed by Bradford Young (winner of a cinematography prize at Sundance), Lowery’s outlaw lovers saga has all the hallmarks of a new classic.
