About
If you enjoy a darkly comic, revisionist western with strong performances and a gritty, old-West mood, this may suit you; Not for you if you want a fast, plot-focused bounty-hunter shoot-'em-up or if you dislike slow, meandering storytelling like Dheepan or Paris, 13th District.
Pros: grimy modern western tone; sharp cast performances; offbeat dark comedy | Cons: meandering, disjointed pacing; unclear or shifting focus; very slow, heavy mood
