Film School: Our Critic Justin Tanner Recommends You See This Classic!
Director John Maclean's 2015 'Slow West' is a beautifully structured, and photographed, slow-burn Western starring Kodi Smit-McPhee (Power of the Dog), Michael Fassbender (The Killer) and Ben Mendelsohn (Bloodlines).
It’s the brutal tale of a heartbroken Scotsman (McPhee) trying to reach the object of his affection (Caren Pistorious as a lovely outlaw wanted for murder) before a savage bounty hunter (Fassbender) does.
The film takes its sweet time getting to the explosive ending. But what an ending it is: a kinetically choreographed and violent shoot out on the middle of the prairie that makes it one of the best siege films in recent memory. ~Justin Tanner
