"weird for weird's sake" ... I always want to like them, but there is always something off (and not in a good way) about them.... The cinematography WAS IMO the star of the film. The stories were lacking cohesion and seemed disjointed. The last one in particular made me go... huh? But I agree that the "Girl" story and the old prospector stories were the highlights of the film.... Beautiful photography to be sure!

I liked the Slow West, a nice little film that was a bit quirky with an outrageous ending. nt - PhilJ 06:59:13 11/22/18 (0)
