like a horror movie, but at the glacial pace of crossing the desert in a covered wagon. beautiful cinematography and performances
A slow burn of a Western, where the focus is subtly on the women the entire time. The minimal narrative lets the acting shine.
Unromantic western, focussing on the hardship of the time. Examines simultaneously the deference to and defiance of men.
A raw, elemental, hyper-realistic, but extremely subdued Western, eschewing genre tropes in favor of grim authenticity and great character.
A very slow moving western that works its way into your skin.
The first time I saw it, I couldn’t get past how boring it was. It is slow, dry, dull. But it drills into you, and I’m still thinking abt it
a little marvel of minimalism. Simple, slow, beautiful.
Bleak and slow but well worth it. A film about mistrust in an absolute form. Doesn’t tell you too much, and let’s you draw the conclusion.
One of the most boring films I've ever seen
Enormously beacautiful film but a little bit too slow and laid back
