POSITIVES
Interesting character dynamics and relationships are what this film is about.
Benedict Cumberbatch plays a really commanding man, and he'll keep you wondering what he is going to do next.
Not to be outshined by Cumberbatch, Jesse Plemons, Kirsten Dunst, Kodi Smit-Mcphee, are all excellent in their roles as well.
Perfectly captures the grit, emptiness, beauty and wonder of the West.
Moments, small scenes and interactions that greatly represent the themes of the movie that are absolutely worth exploring, and gives valid reasons to watch this slow burn of a story. Paper flowers on a table, the dinner party, "a barking dog," wood poles plus a bunny, and hides.
NEGATIVES
People expecting a traditional Western will be very disappointed.
I can hear the complaints. Slow moving and boring!
Bad decisions because of naivety or just plot conveniences?
Hope you don't mind male nudity.
Depiction of animal abuse. ugh
