At its center is a triangle, though not the usual type: Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones), her husband Lee (Will Poulter) and Lee’s brother Julius (Jacob Elordi). As the three attempt to begin a new life after the men return from the Korean War, with Muriel and Lee moving to California and Julius finding his way to a shady life in Las Vegas, the triangle becomes something of a pentagon, with Muriel finding herself attracted to her neighbor Sandra (Sasha Calle) and Julius entering a dangerous relationship with a fellow card cheat, Henry (Diego Calva). – Seattle Times
“On Swift Horses is the kind of big, sweeping romantic drama that Hollywood just doesn’t make anymore.” The Hollywood Reporter
