Some really promising moments undercut by what feels like a second writing unit.
At times it hovers above sentimentality, cutting weight with humour, but it eventually becomes pretty tropey (including a very lame panning montage at the very end).
But I love the idea, loved that they fought with a very big topic, I loved certain moments of the writing, and Gleeson is obviously a legend.
An all timer.
Such a fun, confident and perfectly timed film. Its cosy and caustic characters are paired so well together, injecting something new into the genre flick, as well allows for some very funny moments.
Can’t help but fall in love with McDermott, but the whole film is perfectly cast.
Roger Deakin is a beast and anything he touches looks amazing. Such a GOAT.
Amazing movie. Makes sense that it’s so engrained in the American/western pop culture zeitgeist.
I loved the gear shift 30 or so minutes, in after the first death. A tense start, slowed with a procedural sequence.
I like that there is so much empathy for the villain. The curse from his mother to blame. Or is this a millennial’s read?
