“Cardinal Matter” (** out of four) was a muddled crime melodrama about a migrant worker (Zac Titus) who finds himself in the midst of a deadly cover up involving several factions including the cops and the underworld in a small Wyoming town. Murky storytelling makes this hard to get fully caught up in but beautiful and moody cinematography and strong performances make it watchable. Promising feature-length directing debut for Madeline Puzzo whose work seems influenced by early Terrence Malick (especially “Badlands”) and later-period Coen Bros. (especially “Fargo”).
