Slow West

This film was shot in beautiful Te Waipounamu - South Island, NZ - where I’m from. I recognize some of the locations, and the mountains that provide the backdrop on the horizon.

It’s a good down beat glamour free drama that should appeal if you appreciate the modern Western genre.

The west looks gorgeous in Slow West, and that Western perspective, or should i say lifestyle, is very well represented on screen (not like spaghetti westerns, more like Unforgiven by Clint Eastwood). perhaps if characters are more developed along the journey and maybe less of those truely boring narration, many more would find intrest in rediscovering western movies.

A very sleepy western. There are far better entries in this genre.

My reaction to this film was a strange one. I think I expected it to be boring so I guess I distracted myself before I even needed or wanted to. The truth is, this is a sweet and exciting short tale of unrequited love and a bounty on someone's head being intertwined. The colour on screen was beautiful and I liked Smitt-McPhee's presence. Hopefully I'll watch it with some more energised intent in the future and appreciate it a little more.

Level "Unremarkable" • 5 ❤ • Entertaining but bad.

Turns out channeling Wes Anderson in a Western can be quite amusing

Nice western. Great visuals too.

It is a good western movie but I can't stand the fact the kid made all that journey for a girl who didn't love him back, and not enough with that, she's the one who puts an "end" to the kid's dream, that's harsh and really bugs me.
