Laurie S I found it overall quite boring with only a few interesting moments. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Michael O It is fairly slow and intentionally so...things need to sink in. When the gist hits you, your heart may drop. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Michal S Poor story telling, scattered story line. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Wayne M Fascinating characters, tight direction and a couple of horrifying moments, make this very watchable. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Daniel B An attractive looking film without a lot of plot. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review julie b Wins me over more with cinematography and performances rather than structure / writing, but powerful from multiple angles. Many thoughts for your perusing: - Stunning cinematography (interestingly juxtaposed against subject matter): beautiful sprawling landscapes, the sky looks painted, and each scene is like a haunting still shot - Excellent use of close ups oooooo, especially that mic drop final shot!! - Segundo and Rosa/Kiepja are doing so much while saying very little; such incredible, emotionally charged performances - Really love the “revisionist western” concept and the nods to various forms of exploitation incl film itself. It does not shy away from the truth, so given the subject matter this is very unsettling, disturbing, and violent, both visually and via dialogue - Slow burn is a little too slow, but the ominous score helps keep your attention. The shift to the last chapter felt abrupt and a little late though “Do you want to be a part of this nation???” Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
