I watched this for the first time on CBC television, with frequent commercial interruptions. My opinion it would be worthwhile to rent if available, and see on a better quality screen. Reasons being interesting characters and stories, good acting, and very good locations and cinematography of the southern Saskatchewan or at least Canadian prairie rural roadsides, landscapes, flora, and small town architecture. As an afterthought, look for scenes that were from the hawk's eye view. I would not say that all the accents are authentic, and the symbolic depictions of the antagonist seem out of place. I quickly found myself sympathizing with the protagonists. I would go with the consensus so far and rate it 6/10
