Reviews

Ned Dennehy is one of those character actors who never really owns a film but always make quite an impression - especially if his part requires a degree of menacing unpleasantness. Well here he delivers that in spades as we follow the life of his enforcer “Arm” (Cosmo Jarvis). He has been instructed to deal with a former family affiliate who has raped one of his “Devers” family. Thing is, though,

'Calm with Horses' is definitely engrossing and heavy shit. There's some savage inner violence going on within the main character; the barbarity on the screen can't match the turmoil that's going on in his head. It's a strikingly accomplished portrait of a broken soul hauling himself back up from rock bottom. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/rev
