Review of Brimstone (2016) by Deck — 31 May 2018
No popcorn movie for the wide audience.
Stylistically, Brimstone is a bit like the movie "Mother!". Brimstone has less subtle mystical and psychological features. Also, he is less consistent in the visual language. Although the film plays in America at the beginning of the 19th century, it does not have the characteristics of a classic western. One can rather expect a drama / thriller with features of mysticism.
The story is touching and exciting, in places and the end of the movie unfortunately trivial. Some pictures are uselessly violent and shocking. A little less would not have damaged the overall picture.
The film invites discussion and can lead to controversy. Especially here is the value.
Except for a few dropouts, the actors wear the solid film.
