Review of True Grit (2010) by The3Academysins — 31 Oct 2018

The Coen Brother's spin on True Grit is a darker tale than the original, with it's own message to tell. The balance of honoring the original film and bringing new things to the table is done quite well here.

All of the performances are great. There really is not a weak link in the cast. The cinematography is honestly impeccable. The silence of this film is handled with the utmost care. The only complaint that I have is that the Baroqian take on the language in the film comes off as clunky, and occasionally takes the steam out of an otherwise stirring scene.

All in all, this is a great western that does deserve to be watched.
