Review of Meek's Cutoff (2011) by Chris A — 07 Jan 2012

Another perfect film from the 2011 releases. This one however is not for everyone. It is slower paced and is more of a visual film than anything. Those who strive for films that are more intelligent in their design and output are sure to be engaged by this experience.

It is a treat for the eyes for those of us who grew up with the game 'Oregon Trail', and in that will come as a treat to film lovers in that same room who loved the game. This is also a film that is suitable for all ages even though it does contain subject matters that wouldn't really interest anyone under 13 at least.

The performances here are pitch perfect as well. It is also the best film that Kelly Reichardt has released, although, not to say her other works aren't worth a look.
