Review of The Hired Hand (1971) by Berta A — 11 Jun 2007
Stunning western revisionism, beautifully layered photography by Vilmos Szigmond... this movie more attempts to give an historical portrait of the old west without any false romanticism or John Wayne heroism.
The action slows to a crawl, people seldom shoot properly, and the cast are flyspecks next to the trees and mountains. One of the finest of the "new westerns" of the 70s, and man, were there lots.
