Review of Brimstone (2016) by Steve P — 30 Jan 2017
Just saw the movie yesterday and have to say I rather liked it up until the last 20 minutes or so. The positive aspects of it:
- Dakota Fanning's very strong play in this movie, loved her.
- beautiful pictures and atmospheric scenes.
- very Noir but very well done, the movie gives you the creeps.
The more negative aspects:
- Really, at the end of the movie Dakota turns her arms 360 degrees and she is still able to fight and shoot, I would call that a miracle but made the entire movie for me a bit unbelievable.
- Not such a fan of Carice van Houten.
- Costumes too much machine stitched. I am aware that sewing machines became available in the 19th century but they were only used by big factories and not privately. A lot of sewing work was still performed by hand. Seeing such perfectly well top stitched garments make me cringe a bit.
