The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Reviews

An extraordinary and visionary study of a legendary murderer’s famous fate, within touching distance of Oscars.

The movie has the space and freedom of classic Western epics.

Like all the best oater crews, the James gang is populated by a colorful, oddball collection of characters...

...a dark, iconoclastic Western that lacks clear heroes and villains...

...it is precisely this combination of style and content that shines – alongside the confidence to let this film be what it is; an opus, an epic and not a crowd pleaser.

Et spændende værk, som kræver at man ved, hvad man går ind til – men som så også belønner tilskueren med en mindeværdig anderledes oplevelse.

...till bredden fylld med pinsamt talangfulla skådisar, makalöst foto, ren fysisk spänning och med ett magiskt skildrat nattligt tågrån som fick håren på mina armar att resa sig av njutning.
