Better late than never, I saw Slow West last week. It came out on Friday and is an interesting take on the western genre.
I think the film lacks a lot throughout until the final moments and you could almost be forgiven for thinking it is an excellent film because of this. I thought it was a good film, but a lot of the story hinges on the climax.
I was very surprised after viewing the film that many critics have given Slow West 4*, but it is beautifully shot, like they all suggest, though it is hard not to have been with the finest mountain ranges New Zealand has to offer.
3*
