About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow-burning, gritty Western focused on class conflict and immigrant struggle, with big set-piece moments; Not for you if you hate sprawling runtimes or wandering subplots like in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.

Pros: sweeping landscapes; rich period detail; strong performances | Cons: very long runtime; meandering story; uneven pacing
