Slow West

“Occasionally compelling. Interest is mined from interaction between Smit-McPhee and Fassbender.”

“A pure, unadulterated blast. The first legitimately great film of the summer movie season.”
“Amazing mix of physical and CGI effects…The story just isn’t there to take the enjoyment to the next level.”
“Says nothing of importance…a giant waste of time for its two talented leads.”
“There is a lot of movie to this movie. Feels inconsequential at best, like a place-holder at worst.”
“Smart and ambitious…allowing audiences to flex their mental muscles to stay engaged.”
“Ultimately can’t overcome the boredom its confines create. The premise wears thin quickly.”
“It’s probably good to know as little as possible before watching it unravel piece by piece.”
“Nearly every second, plotline or joke is way too on the nose to register as funny, biting, or profound.”
“A convoluted mess…There’s a real sadness here as the film works hard to retire Paul Walker.”
“There are a few good laughs, but there’s also a weird discomfort to the whole thing.”
“A dialogue-driven romantic drama with plenty of substance and kissed with bits of horror.”
