Atmospheric image film.

The story is quite thin and is also told in a rather bobbing manner, but that is hardly the point. More important than that is the atmosphere, with the aim of fully immersing yourself in it, and instead of the narrative, the emphasis is entirely on cinematography and sound. Very well done and very beautiful. However, I still found the ending a bit disappointing.

Britt Marling once again plays a great role, she has a very good nose for picking out the right projects. There are a lot of great films included. That's also a talent.

A nice and atmospheric western. I don't understand the low score, maybe because there are no exciting car chases, but hey... it's a western... and that type of film simply has a different pace. The ladies act well and portray their uncomfortable situation well, they carry the film and keep it atmospheric and interesting. It is a film that is fascinating from start to finish, provided you are not hoping for a shooting every ten minutes. Anyone who finds this slow has certainly not seen Meek's Cutoff (2010). The only downside is the last minute, they should have left that nonsense out, spoiler: the women stay in the house to protect it, then set it on fire, put on a hat and are therefore mistaken for men, who can still believe that, and who came up with such an ending??? Shame.
For the rest, 3.5* and highly recommended for those who like the story of this film.

Very strange view of human existence, but no less true. Various themes are extensively discussed and together form a clear whole. The whole is very convincingly presented and therefore somewhat fascinating from start to finish. The acting is humanly real and serves as a solid foundation for a story. Nicely done, for sure!
