Review of Slow West (2015) by Norberto F — 18 Jan 2016
Slow West is a flawed but interesting neo-Western, with a distinctly modern quirkiness elevating its less-solid characters. Kodi Smit-McPhee's naif Jay is interesting but infuriating as a lead, where Michael Fassbender's Silas is enigma who never quite comes into focus (some narration on his part doesn't help).
But even if some of the dialogue is a bit stilted, the film builds to a brutally funny second act. It's only 85 minutes, and while it doesn't quite scratch the Western itch, its interesting and entertaining in its own way.
