FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/barrons-cove-review/
"Barron's Cove is a remarkable debut from Evan Ari Kelman, marked by bold direction and deeply felt performances - especially from Garrett Hedlund, delivering one of the most powerful turns of his career.
Despite some narrative missteps and an ending that weakens the emotional crescendo, the film lingers in the mind thanks to its honest exploration of childhood trauma, guilt, forgiveness, and the potential for redemption.
It's a story that challenges viewers to look beyond isolated actions, confirming that it's always worth seeking out new voices in independent cinema."
Rating: B+
