"**_Lyrical Western about love, hate, sacrifice and redemption_** The firecracker daughter (Abby Eiland) of an alcoholic gunslinger and a prostitute makes an enemy of the local mogul in southern Arizona (David Thomas Jenkins). When her beloved is captured under trumped-up charges and feared dead (Jason Grasl), she has to turn to her lousy father (Rick Cramer) in order to set things aβright. "Cassidy Red" (2017) is an artistic Indie with a reverent tone, great score, nice cinematography, decent no-name actors and authentic Southwest locations. This was Matt Knudsenβs only film as writer/director; he usually works in the camera/electrical department. Despite its kickstarter origins, the movie worked for me as a moving arty ballad rooted in a romantic triangle with an Old West milieu. Despite the nod to "Hannie Caulder" (and its unacknowledged remake, β6 Gunsβ), the story & style smack of originality with the setting switching back-and-forth from 1899, 1874 and 1863, although 1874 is the main setting described above. Eiland does well as the no-nonsense protagonist. Also notable on the feminine front is Lola Kelly (Rowena), Jessy Knudsen (Quinn) and Alyssa Elle Steinacker (Young Joe). The film runs 1 hour, 31 minutes, and was shot in Old Tucson and the nearby Sonoran Desert with some stuff done in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles. GRADE: B/B-"
