Diane Lane and Kevin Costner Reunite in Family Drama “Let Him Go”

In the realm of film, there are not many films that accurately portray the strong bonds that exist within families and the lengths that people would go to in order to protect their loved ones. “Let Him Go,” a thriller that to be released in 2020 and starring Diane Lane and Kevin Costner, is an excellent example of this kind of narrative style. With its combination of mystery, emotion, and the rough beauty of the American Midwest, this picture, which was directed by Thomas Bezucha and was based on Larry Watson’s book of the same name, which was published in 2013, is an absolute must-see.

“Let Him Go” centers on George and Margaret Blackledge

George and Margaret Blackledge, who are portrayed by Kevin Costner and Diane Lane, according to their respective roles in the film.

The Blackledges had to act to guarantee the welfare and future of their newborn grandchild after the terrible incident cost the life of their son. Lorna, the boy’s mother, just got married once again; her new partner, Donnie Weboy, is from a family that is cunning and deadly. The Blackledge family sets out on a dangerous trip to save their grandson from this savage tribe when the Weboys bring Lorna and the child to their far-off property.

Kevin Costner, known for films such as “Dances with Wolves” and “Field of Dreams,” portrays George Blackledge, a former sheriff with a calm but firm determination.

Kevin Costner adds his typical calm and authority to the role

Diane Lane, who has been in films such as “Unfaithful” and “Under the Tuscan Sun,” delivers a powerful performance as Margaret Blackledge, a mother whose love for her family drives her to take inconceivable risks.

Lane and Costner’s portrayal of a couple bound by intense love and mutual sorrow is both genuine and horrific given their great chemistry. “Let Him Go” is turned from a tense thriller into a fascinating study of memory, loss, and the strong protective emotions that are natural in the experience of being a parent by their performances.

Lesley Manville terribly and wonderfully portrays Blanche Weboy, the family matriarch

Blanche presents the darker subjects in the film—like murder and power—through her.

Manville’s acting makes things more tense and keeps people on the edge of their seats. The Blackledge family is very different from the Weboy family as a whole. For George and Margaret, love and moral duty drive them. For the Weboys, power and fear do.

The fact that the movie takes place in the huge, empty lands of Montana and North Dakota is very important to the story.

Photographer Guy Godfree brilliantly captured the desolate, wide-open spaces, which highlight the desolation and loneliness the people experience.

As the story unfolds, the brutal beauty of the American West remains quietly. The difficult terrain reflects George and Margaret’s physical and emotional challenges.

“Let Him Go” is more than a horrible family story

This movie also addresses questions of justice, forgiveness, and the moral quandaries that occur when the system fails to protect the innocent. More than merely regaining custody of their grandson, the Blackledges are on a mission to find him. In a society where the laws seem to favor those who are strong and corrupt, it is about going back to bringing justice.

“Let Him Go” is a superb mix of drama, feeling, and stories that focus on the characters. Not only does it have an amazing story and great acting, but it also looks at how strong family bonds can be over time. In this family drama, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner provide some of their most impressive performances to date, which helps the film stand out above other works in its genre.
