Our take

Following a boy’s complicated passage into adulthood, this stunning pastoral from director Henry King captures the atmosphere of the Appalachian landscapes in which its set. Nostalgic for childhood, _ Tol’able David_ is movingly imbued with tragedy, but also a sense of buoyancy and lightness.’
