About
You’ll like Slow West if you enjoy a bleak, road-driven Old West romance with tough travelers and occasional dark humor; Not for you if you want a fast, straightforward hero western like True Grit or the more conventional adventure energy of News of the World.
Pros: stunning landscapes; engaging chemistry; memorable finale | Cons: slow pacing; flawed storyline; harsh violence
