Best movie ever!

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Slow West is most definitely a slow burn, with slim to no backstory for any of its characters. Making it feel shallow and pointless. Like why am I supposed to care about anyone in this film if I don't know them? The actors do the best with what they are given, but they are given practically nothing.

This film takes a typical western premise - a journey through a landscape of characters and escapades - but gives it a twist that adds weight and depth.

"Slow West" kinda disappointed me. From first till last it's calm, cool and collected and the cinematography was very fresh and original but it it means nothing and totally lives up to its title. The lack of any real dramatic incident left me indifferent to where events are heading but did the Brits making this movie not realize these were actual people American viewers would recognize? In some scenes we see "Wanted" posters with the faces of real-life 19th century Americans such as Robert E. Lee. The back story doesn't answer questions like why the girl is an outlaw or how the boy knew how to find her, and how he got from Scotland to America considering his youth and lack of funds. Would a real 19th century bad-ass really shave a young man. It's one poky Western, on a death march to a pointless ending without actually saying much of anything except that things were very dangerous in the olden days

This is one of those metaphorical movies where every scene, every dialog, every character may mean something unrelated to the supposed plot. The acting is good, the script very careful to detail and up to the - very slow - ending, you wonder what the movie will be about. The direction and editing are top notch, too.But is there a moral to the story? There are many. They are peppered throughout the film. This is not one of those "let's watch the first and last scenes so we know what this is about" movies. It unfolds like a book, self referencing and adding meaning way before it reaches the climax. It grows like dough in the oven.Truth is that except the slow pacing, and the slightly unsatisfying - but truly original - ending, it was almost perfect. I loved it.
