katlaughing, my wife also commented on Kristofferson playing the fiddle without moving his fingers. LOL. The story was a bit murky while trying to be mystical but the acting was thoughtful, with fine supporting performances by Genevieve Bujold, Gary Farmer (that's how I stumbled on this indie flick, looking for more Gary Farmer roles) and Gary Sanderson who played Larry with the the two brother Darryls on "Newhart". Also a fine breakout performance by Charlie McDermott as Kristofferson's son Wild Bill. He's the kid who plays Axl Heck on ABC comedy "The Middle". And yes the scenery was breathtaking. One might almost say it was the "lead" in this film.
