Reviews for Western
A delightfully subtle and perceptive blend of romantic comedy and road movie.
A funny, romantic film filled with cozy intimacies and lovely, wide-screen images of the French countryside.
One of the most refreshing aspects of Manuel Poirier's Western ... is the way it explodes many common notions about France and French movies.
A charmer from France that feels like a throwback to the 1960s, when foreign films flooded art- house cinemas.
The adventures are arbitrary, the cuteness of the men grows wearing, and when Nino has an accident with a chainsaw, we can see contrivance shading off into desperation.
