Review of Slow West (2015) by Luis A. H — 06 Jul 2015
Slow West is like an exceptionally well-made student film with some great actors but it's too bright, too pretty and too clean looking to have any real impact. A Western without any grit is a shame.
The story is flat, the plot predictable, the music is uninspired and the sound design lacks any punch. The one surprising moment in the film is ruined by such a shallow, obvious visual metaphor it makes a joke of the entire film, causing us to laugh at what should be a tragic situation.
Slow West is to Westerns what The Hobbit films were to The Lord of the Rings.
