In Kelly Reichardt’s heart-melting Oregon Territory bromance, a talented cook and an enterprising Chinese refugee (Orion Lee) team up to steal milk from the town’s only cow for their booming donut business. But how can they expand their enterprise without getting caught? Subverting traditional Western themes of opportunism and roughing it, Reichardt illustrates a tender, creative and community-building version of masculinity rarely shown on screen—and delivers a true crowd-pleaser.
