This film takes a politically fraught topic and infuses it with complexity and contradiction. It is a beautifully shot vignette of life in a small town, with all of the accompanying expectations and pressures on full display for newcomers Will and Tessa. Suspenseful and dramatic, yet tender and full of emotion, the storyline is anchored by some truly exceptional performances. I appreciated how authentic everything felt, especially as someone who has only marginal personal experience with gun culture. Definitely a conversation starter that is best watched with others, Good Guy With A Gun will provoke you to reconsider your preconceptions on gun control and ask yourself how far is too far?
