POSITIVES…
Seems to really capture what it must be like in the American frontier of the 1820s, in a slice of life kind of way.
The friendship between John Magaro's Cookie Figowitz and Orion Lee's King Lu is at the heart of this story.
Those stories and monologues that Orion Lee gets to say.
Toby Jones as Chief Factor is a fine addition to the cast of this movie.
Everything to do with the cow.
Who doesn't love a good delicious biscuit?
Gotta appreciate the confidence and vision by Co-writer & Director Kelly Reichardt for this particularly unique kind of indie art film.
NEGATIVES…
Not a fast moving movie. Indulgences itself by taking its sweet time.
I would say it doesn't really get going until almost halfway through the movie.
You might think it meanders too much, is listless, and probably boring.
