Story
A Montana cattle ranching family comes face to face with others encroaching on their land. Forrie J. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) often seems to “forget” his Montana accent and reverts to his usual Southern California voice.

Kevin Costner is the presiding patriarch of a dynastic ranch the size of some towns. His way of life is being infringed upon by resort developers, tribal rights and the authority of the state of Montana. Reminiscent of Rock Hudson in “Giant,” he tries to stick to the old ways.
Costner seems to fill his character naturally
“Yellowstone” moves quickly with little introduction, but its story unfolds at the natural pace of a day in the wilderness, pausing for tribal rituals, cowboy conventions and political machinations. It’s a far-flung effort that focuses on the seams of law and justice, family and friendships. He is a world-weary man who has seen too much and lied too often.
The land and his family are his engine
He hears footsteps approaching him, but he can only play his role out of habit and also loyalty. Although some of the actions are a bit confusing due to the lack of explanation, they feel natural, as if the viewer is experiencing a real slice of life in another world. I hope the conclusion of this saga includes an emotional payoff that justifies its breadth and attention to detail.
I raise the grade to a “9”
