When cowboy Lefty Brown witnesses the murder of his longtime partner, the newly-elected Senator Edward Johnson, he strikes out to find the killers and avenge his friend's cold-blooded murder. Tracking the outlaws across the vast and desolate Montana plains, Lefty stumbles across a young wannabe gunslinger, Jeremiah, and an old friend, a former hard-drinking pal turned U.S. Marshal, to help deliver the men to justice. After a gunfight with the outlaws leaves Jeremiah wounded, Lefty returns home with the names of Johnson's killers only to find that he is being accused of his friend's murder by the governor. With the tables turned Lefty must evade the law, get the Marshal to stop drinking again, and prove his innocence by exposing the powerful men ultimately responsible for Johnson's death.

Movie Reviews

One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekWhile a minor contribution to the Western genre, it offers a clever twist on its tropes.
Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by John DeForeHaving already given us a shootout or two, the film grows more involving as Lefty fights for both his life and his good name. Pullman has no trouble making the character sympathetic, even as he maintains the near-ineptitude Lefty's known for.
KDHX (St. Louis) - 8/10 by Diane CarsonChanneling the reluctant hero persona, The Ballad of Lefty Brown doesn't so much break new ground as try to push the tropes.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Richard RoeperThis is a Western that places the sidekick front and center, and in doing so gives reliable everyman supporting character actor Bill Pullman a rare chance to carry the film, and what a fine job he does with the added responsibilities.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonWriter/director Jared Moshe clearly loves and appreciates the Western genre, and here he's created one that's not only classical, skillful, and unpretentious but a fresh angle on an old story.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Danny KingMoshe relates his tale of can-do vengeance with an unfussy clarity and an obvious fondness for the oaters of yesterday’s Hollywood — an affection that, as in Burden, imparts a winning sincerity.
AARP Movies for Grownups - 8/10 by Tim AppeloThe movie pokily moseys across its vast, resonant landscape, but like Lefty, it picks up the pace and gradually grows into a flawed kind of greatness.
Consequence of Sound - 8/10 by Danielle SolzmanMoshe’s approach turns the Western genre on its head by having the sidekick rise up as the hero.
Indiewire - 7/10 by Eric KohnBy giving the spotlight to an archetype usually relegated to the background, writer-director Jared Moshé puts a revisionist spin on the familiar oater, but everything else about The Ballad of Lefty Brown is by the book.
Variety - 7/10 by Joe LeydonWriter-director Jared Moshé’s solidly entertaining period drama...can be enjoyed as both a straight-shooting homage to crotchety sidekicks and shoot-’em-up conventions, and a well-crafted movie about loyalty, betrayal, and redemption.
