Slow West crescendos into a bravura shootout between all the involved parties, and it's as gorgeous, nihilistic, and brutally sad as the rest of the film. Oct 14, 2015 | Full Review…

It's a work of rare purity, directness and concision - a pity that it's lumbered with that slightly deceptive, off-putting title. Slow it's not. Jun 26, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The western may be about as relevant to American society as the ability to lasso a rampaging steer, but the genre refuses to die. Instead it evolves, taking on new meanings with each new incarnation. Jun 25, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

That magical combo: a debut feature that knows exactly where it's going and leaves you wanting more. Jun 25, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's only slow in the way a rattlesnake or a predatory killer is slow. This terrific film is actually tense, twisty and brilliant. Jun 25, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Essentially an old-school Western with some interesting tweaks, Slow West -- the debut feature from musician-turned-filmmaker John Maclean -- is a simple story told, yes, slowly. But it offers a bang-up finish. Jun 11, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's so obsessed with being a well-constructed, socially conscious film that it forgets to be a good one. Dec 27, 2018 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

It shows the rewards of taking the road less traveled, relishing the telling of the tale as much as the tale itself. Nov 15, 2018 | Full Review…

Kodi Smit-McPhee and Michael Fassbender, both physically and in the way they inhabit their roles, dovetail excellently. Nov 10, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Slow West harks back to its cowboy roots and its noir inspiration for its strong moral core. Every evil act committed is paid for in a breathtaking final act. Aug 30, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Neither clever enough to be a good revisionist Western nor entertaining enough to be a satisfying genre exercise. Aug 29, 2018 | Full Review…

[Jay Cavendish] seeks to move beyond the boundaries of basic survival, a trait that Silas eventually learns in this slick and often heart-warming tale of unlikely paths crossing. Aug 24, 2018 | Full Review…
