    This is very good. I just wish there weren't little bits of text saying things like "disenchanted" etc. That's telling your audience how to feel

    ★★★★

    This film is so close to being an all time classic. There's just this 10-15 minute chunk of screentime in the third act that feels so out of place. I can see what they're trying to do but the whole thing could have used just that one more rewrite and it would have been among the all time westerns.

    Came so close to greatness! The third act just isn't earned though and goes in dumb pointless tangents!

    Up until that point, the worst of it was some inconsistency in the use of title cards and a really annoying reference to early cinema

    Beyond these issues, this is well worth checking out. A poignant story of stories

    Putting a star rating on this is impossible. This is both the best thing I have seen this year and the most baffling, badly made mess I've seen in years. Seriously this film goes from being jawdropping amazing to Neil Breen bad in seconds. I will watch this film again. Don't let anyone kid you, the script is toilet paper. But it isn't boring!
