Old Henry (2021) is a gripping and introspective American Western action-drama film directed and written by Potsy Ponciroli. Set in the rugged and unforgiving landscapes of the Old West, the film blends thrilling action with emotional depth, offering a fresh take on the classic Western genre. Through its taut narrative and powerful performances, Old Henry explores themes of honor, revenge, and the burden of the past, all while showcasing the relentless nature of survival in a harsh world.

Tim Blake Nelson delivers an outstanding performance as Henry, capturing the complexity and resilience of a man who is hiding a secret past. At first glance, Henry seems like a mild-mannered farmer, content with his quiet life. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that there is more to him than meets the eye. Nelson’s portrayal is both restrained and intense, showing Henry’s capacity for violence when pushed to the edge, as well as his deep sense of duty to protect his son. The character’s internal conflict, as he is forced to confront his past and his own violent instincts, is one of the film’s most compelling aspects.
