VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Michael Ledo Jay (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is a young Sottish lad traveling in Colorado chasing down his lost love Rose (Caren Pistorius). An incident in Scotland caused Rose and her father to flee. The story picks up in Colorado with Jay, an educated young man, way in over his head. After a confrontation, he ends up riding with Silas (Michael Fassbender) a bounty hunter in a land filled with thieves, murderers, bounty hunters, and unhappy Native Americans. 20 minutes into the film we know our drama can only end in tragedy as we wait to see it unfold. Jay is full of hope and a strong character and we wonder if he can change what appears to be inevitable.The film moved at a moderate pace, just enough to keep us hanging on. Good performance by Fassbender.Score: Sex 0; F-bomb 1; nude butts 2. Rating :R

Harv-Au-838-246601 The film is clunky in parts, jumps are made through the plot where maybe it could be a smoother transition, however it is done for a reason, because the west and the reasons for going have never been coherent, more guttural.On the whole the story is complex, the characters invigorating, and the tension of plot twists delivered in a delightfully accessible manner that some how slips the mind's noose, for both the audience and the characters.Slow West is indeed slow, but only because it takes its time to deliver a story worth telling.

NateWatchesCoolMovies Slow West clocks in briskly under 90 minutes, which is usually unheard of for a western. You can stamp out any thoughts of it being rushed or too slight of a flick though, because it's exactly what it needs to be every step of the way. It's a beautifully scored, tightly plotted and boldly characterized (the key ingredient in the genre, if you ask me) mix that saunters along like a mule of the plains, before kicking up the dust for a bloody, atmospheric finale that leaves you stunned and breathing hard. Westerns are often ambitious, lofty affairs and can get quite moody and too densely packed for their own good. Not this baby. It breezes by like a summer wind, with just enough violence, character development and aching catharsis to billow out its chipper narrative during the brief stay we are treated to. Kodi Smit McPhee plays a young Scottish lad who is a tad out of his depths in the American west, searching for a girl (Caren Pistorius) who had to flee the country with her father (The Hound himself, Rory McCann). McPhee is naive to the dangers of this new territory, and nearly finds himself at the receiving end of a bullet before being saved by a roaming outlaw (Michael Fassbender) who takes him under his wing with much gruff and huff along the way. Reluctance is doled out along with sympathy on Fassbender's part as he shields the boy from a dangerous bounty hunter and former employer of his, played by a wonderfully greasy Ben Mendelsohn, perpetually shrouded in acrid cigar smoke and snuggled up in one epic and fabulous fur pelt. These three wayward misfits gravitate towards the obligatory final shoot out, which takes place in the girl's hideaway house on the picturesque pretty plains. Impressive is an understatement for this sequence: yellow grass sways, a hailstorm of bullets punctuate the horizon and the mournful tones of Jed Kurzel's lonely score, grim fates are earned in a gorgeous set piece that resembles something like Wes Anderson making an Oater. Everything before and winds up to this sequence, and the payoff is superb. If I've made it sound dark or off putting, think again. It's all crafted with the utmost light and poetic buoyancy, a lilting sadness to the violence that hits home but never batters you. The performances echo this as well, Fassbender a world weary, affable and altogether dangerous man, Mendelsohn slithering about with a dry silver tongue and an itchy trigger finger, and a fish out of water McPhee stuck in between. The visual palette is quite something to see, accented by the music perfectly. I'm beyond anxious to see what first time director John Maclean comes up with for us for his next ride, for he's knocked it out of the ranch with this one. Ho for the West.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a young man who goes all the way from Scotland to America to reunite with the woman he loves. However, the windscreen turns out to be an outlaw with a bounty on her. The his search for her becomes perilous for both him and her."Slow West" is a beautiful film with lots of great natural scenery, and almost perpetual sunny weather. Many scenes are so beautiful that I wish I have a view like that from my home. The story is interesting because of the good ending which is thought provoking and sigh provoking. I have to say I'm not a fan of Western films because almost everyone dies in these films. Life is not treasured by anyone. In here life is not treasured, but at least there is some love.
