"In the Old West, a 17-year-old Scottish boy teams up with a mysterious gunman to find the woman with whom he is infatuated. Every American western cliche imaginable is in this movie, presented in a dull, plodding, story that does not hold together at all. Presented with all of the cynicism of a spaghetti western without any of the drama or characters of that make that genre compelling. You will know the characters if you are familiar with American westerns because this movie just borrows them f"

" Date: 6/15/2020 Viewed: Netflix First Viewing Note: I honestly never heard of this movie until recently. I'm glad that I finally saw this movie because I really enjoy it. This movie is a very good slow burn that does not overstay its welcome. The movie has a great cast of characters and I really enjoy the themes of the human condition that the movie deals with. The characters go on a long journey, and we get to see betrayal, loyalty, mistrust, and bravery during their development. The perfor"

" Sometimes love is one-side, stupid and you find your heart in the wrong place but it's the spirit of love that makes it so beautiful. To love one who does not love you unconditionally, to the denial and detriment of one's self. "

A good movie

“Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this flick and since I have a weak spot for Michael Fassbender, I was really eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, in my opinion, it turned out to be a rather basic Western roadtrip. In fact, to make it even more generic, it was dealing with a naive young man guided by a cynical older guy with some nifty survival skills and, to make it more sounding like a weaker version of 'Dead Man', there were even some semi poetic/philisophical dialogues added in the mix. And yet, I still liked the damned thing though. Indeed, this movie looked really neat an convincing and first time director John Maclean managed to create a very nice mood. Furthermore, to be honest, it has been a while since Michael Fassbender has done anything really amazing bu” read more

"First viewing - July 7th Friday evening I dropped the kiddo off to be with her mom for the weekend, which meant I could spend the rest of my vacation with the films I checked out from the library for myself. I decided to kick it all off with Slow West which Listalites like Xanadon't & PvtCaboose91 put on my radar. Overall I thought Slow West was worth checking out. The story isn't predictable despite using a lot of familiar elements of the Western genre, and the cast is solid. The characters "

"27.3. Ohjaaja John Macleania ei ainakaan voi syyttää turhasta varmistelusta. Hidastempoinen western tuntuu ilmentävän monenlaisia oman genrensä ulkopuolisia vaikutteita - lievästi alakuloinen huumori muistuttaa Wes Andersonista, musiikin hyödyntäminen herättää hetkittäin mielikuvia Kar-wai Wongin In the Mood for Lovesta jne. Ihan mukavia vaikuttimia on heppu kerännyt esikoiselokuvaansa varten, mutta oma ääni puuttuu. Vajaavainen hahmokehitys tekee sen, ettei etsintäkuulutettua r"
