9 people responded. The breakdown and comments were:

  • ‘Excellent’: 5 votes
    • Very measured, thoughtful drama – unusual for the Western genre. Excellent
    • cinematography.
    • Beautifully filmed, great score. The slow pace made for an enthralling film.
    • Masterclass in acting – great choice of film!
    • Another excellent presentation: makes me doubt I’ve seen a ‘western’ before – the complexity
      of the characters, the pace, the images and sound. Yet “why do men fight”. Somewhere in
      there there’s the prototype Mage and Donald!
    • Beautifully paced, beautifully shot, beautifully played!
  • ‘Very Good’: 2 votes
    • Certainly, a slow-burner which got there in the end. Fortunately, the bad came to a bad end… possibly a film for the present American predicament.
    • Didn’t immediately follow the timeline!
  • ‘Good’: 2 votes
    • Story line a bit thin.
  • ‘Satisfactory’: 0 votes
  • ‘Poor’: 0 votes
