    Obliterating the line between documentary and fiction, the Ross Brothers staged an all-day bender for this wistful ode to barflies everywhere. From this pickled premise, a poignant microcosm of social and political disillusion emerges, as the film sounds an elegy to communities lost and found.

    A marvel of flying rifles, whirling flags, and synchronized formations, the color guards merge with experimental pop musicians in David Byrne’s life-affirming show.

    Concluding an ‘Americana’ trilogy that includes 45365 and Tchoupitoulas, this poignant documentary by the Ross Brothers sounds a hymn to community spirit. With its quiet anatomization of border-town life amid rising violence, Western is an optimistic examination of cross-cultural collaboration.
