Review of The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) by Cameron W — 28 May 2013
A beautifully directed, acted, written, and photographed film; it is without a doubt a masterpiece. Tommy Lee Jones really impresses with his steady and emotional performance, but this film is really made by his expert directing, he directs the film as if he is a Clint Eastwood or Sergio Leone, even though this was his first attempt.
It is a magical debut film, and one that ushers in a new brand of western with a powerful morality tale. And this would be exemplified by 2007's No Country For Old Men. This film is a modern classic, and I suspect it will be used as a model for years to come.
