Three-and-a-half stars, I feel like it's almost a comedy movie or a road movie, and because I have encountered a lot of liars, I don't like the plot too much - that little girl, I feel that I can't describe it as a little devil, I completely match her age does not match. However, the sense of the times of this film is too similar, otherwise I would have thought it was a film from the 1940s and 1950s. The male protagonist did a great job of showing grief, no wonder he played Barry Lyndon later.

Moses Pray: Well, I wouldn't exactly call it a chariot, Reverend.

Moses Pray: Now, don't think that poor child ain't entitled, 'cause she is. Now, I was thinkin' a couple a thousand dollars will be acceptable.
Mr. Robertson: A couple of thou'? I'll give you two hundred.
Moses Pray: Two hundred dollars?
Mr. Robertson: Two hundred dollars.
Moses Pray: It's a deal.
