關於這部電影

Set in 19th century Colorado but undeniably European in sensibility, SLOW WEST tells the story of sixteen-year-old Jay Cavendish as he travels from Scotland to Colorado in pursuit of his lost love. Quickly confronted by the dangers of the American frontier, he teams up with a mysterious traveller named Silas, who agrees to protect him - for a price. Jay’s quest will be one of double-crossing, violence and peril as the guileless adolescent learns that the West takes no pity, least of all on the innocent.

if you don't like slow movies then it might not be for you but I enjoyed all of it the great dialogue the serious intense moments in absolute silence the plot an ending even the actors an actresses its got two thumbs up in my book

I love this perspective of the west. A very well done and fresh western. Not loaded with CGI and special effects. Just a good film. Sometimes less is best. The western frontier was brutal and things hardly went according to plan, they just went.

Hmm, how do we stretch a 20 min plot into 84 minutes... Make every scene ridiculously long and pretend it's profound? Yes! Focus on people making unhappy faces? Sure! Steal some pointless scenes from Saraphim Falls? Why the hell not! Oversimplify the plot so it's bland and predictable... Don't get me wrong, it's not horrible. There's just a lot of wasted talent here. And it's poorly written and directed. And it's not even remotely profound.
