A Kiwi western? Hmm. Anti-american drivel. Good scenery.

'Slow West' follows a 16-year-old boy on a journey across 19th Century frontier America in search of the woman he loves, while accompanied by mysterious traveler Silas. Michael Fassbender is a great and talented actor just watch the X-Men Trilogy he was amazing in those films unfortunately he has chose projects in his career that were so bland and bad that i couldn't even finish them including Slow West a movie that has bland characters, mediocre acting and many dumb and salty scenes that got me so bored that i had to skip the whole thing make yourself a favor and don't watch this movie please. I'll give it an 4/10

In the Anti-Tradition of "Bone Tomahawk" (2015), first time Director MacLean makes No Bones about this being an Off-Kilter and Out of Step take on the Genre and delivers a Distinctively Different Tale of Traveling Men on a Torturous Journey.Michael Fassbender and His Star Power might get Fans to give this one a Look, and that's a Good Thing because this is a B-Picture that is an Off-Beat Treat for Seekers of the Unusual and Lovers of "Film as Art".Kodi Smit-McPhee (what a name) plays a Character that is Certainly Out of His Element in the Dirty and Unforgiving Setting, wearing a Suit and His Education quite well. A Determined Demeanor and Youthful Exuberance Propels Him on a Quest for 'His true Love".The Film is Full of Strange Occurrences and is Metaphorical, Surreal, and totally Engaging. Beautifully Shot and Despite its Differentness will most likely be Fulfilling for Western Movie Fans and those not Usually Drawn to the Genre.Violent, Poetic, and filled with much Black Humor, this is one that is worth Finding. It's a Foreign Film that Feels Foreign and that adds to its Dream-Like Ambiance. Don't be put off by the this Flowery Review and the Artsy Appeal and take a chance on a Little Movie that is a Big Deal and helps keep the Western Movie on the Map for Moderns.

There are way too much good ratings for this movie. It's really not that special at all. If I give it a six star rating it's because of the filming. The way of filming is very good. Nothing bad to say about that. But the story is just not good enough to get such a high rating. It's very slow and sometimes with very dumb passages. The cast is not bad, far from, but it's nothing exceptional either. I can get that people like the movie for the way it is filmed but to me the story is primordial in a movie. And Slow West is just an average western. It's not the worse one I saw but certainly not one I will remember. Too bad the story was not better.
