Tommy Lee Jones has proved to be a director of remarkable depth, and this film is no exception. Three Burials depicts a violent journey centered around the question “can a person be beyond redemption?” Driving the tension is one man’s determination to bring his friend to a place “filled with beauty.” In an interview about the film, Jones quoted Flannery O’Connor: “Faith is what you know to be true whether you believe it or not, and you can say that [this movie] looks at life from that perspective.” – Jeremy Purves
