About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a revisionist, character-focused Western with a chilly, grimy vibe and a slow build of tension; Not for you if you need fast action or crisp dialogue, even if you liked M*A*S*H or The Long Goodbye.
Pros: immersive wintry atmosphere; haunting folk songs; memorable character moments | Cons: slow deliberate pacing; hard-to-hear dialogue; bleak downbeat mood
