Review of Brimstone (2016) by Brogan R — 14 Mar 2017
The critics who hated it called it misogynistic in its brutality toward women. (The same critics who praised 12 Years a Slave. I'm not quite sure how that one works, but... yeah.).
Yet, a lot of the user comments blast the movie for being overly feminist.
I'm over here like "uhh... it's a movie. How about we take it that way?".
Guy Pearce, Emilia Jones and Dakota Fanning deliver flawless performances. The cinematography and production are excellent. The screenplay is pitch-perfect.
If you dislike violence, it's not for you. If you dislike non-linear storytelling, it's not for you.
If you like westerns and/or noirs with great performances, you're in for a treat.
