A slow but emotionally impressive frontier western that made me see Vicky Krieps as a real actress, not some amateur clown she was in Shyamalan's Old.
Didn't have enough of a revenge for my taste, but I guess it fit tonally with the rest of the movie. Was also hoping for a repeat of the opening scene in more detail, since the story started from the middle, and then went back and forth explaining things, so that I could see it with more weight now knowing the characters and what's going on, but it just skips it...
