Where was the editor? Losts of moody landscape etc but large chunks of filler too.
Then there was Steve Earle's character. Was he supposed to be a scary psychopath? I was confused because I just wanted to hear more of that this sweet gospel.
The movie was under 2 hours so I don't understand the complaint about it being too long. Can you watch movies that are long? Also in terms of this filler you mention I don't see it. Every scene connected to the next very well.

I think, given the moody, dark landscape, the pretty self-destructive woman, the dope, the unresolved outrages, this film seemed to be setting viewers up for some score-settling explosion. A Walpurgisnacht where somebody cracks and evens it up once and for all. A discharge of all that rage and tension held in check for so long. I realize this was adapted from a novel, so that limits the options for resolution. But Godfather II, for example, took all of the insults and dissatisfaction building throughout and paid them off --- not pretty but exciting and cinematically satisfaying.
