Brimstone

"⭐️3.5⭐️ This #gritty #western is like a #mysterious puzzle since the story is somewhat told in reverse. I found that aspect intriguing. But, Boy! It’s bleak… BRIMSTONE, starring Dakota Fanning as a young pioneer woman living in frontier times, is gritty & could possibly be a bit tough for some to sit through, but nevertheless, and in spite of all that, it held my interest. Guy Pierce plays a truly manipulative, vengeful & diabolical “wolf in sheep’s clothing,” “fire & brimstone” preacher who makes Hamish Linklater’s priest in Midnight Mass (who was amazing, btw) seem like a good guy. Blood, gore, & death prevail, as characters are beaten, strangled, stabbed, shot, shackled, hung, whipped, etc… & there's a scene in an old west brothel with the suggestion of rape as a child looks on ⚠️ Not quite the #mystery film I was expecting at all 😳 But, Hellfire & Damnation, this was good! Good as Hell! … … Well, JK, maybe not quite THAT ‘devine’ 😉 … I just wanted to be dramatic & spit words with religious connotations😇😈 #violent #psychological 😱🐺 Alrighty, I need a good laugh now after that movie. Gonna go watch some ‘FRIENDS’ now … RIP, Matthew Perry 😢 10/28/23"

"This is the tragic tale of one woman's life in the old west. It's told in four parts, out of sequence, so it takes a while to get a clear picture of what is going on and why. Guy Pierce plays his part as a sadistic preacher so well that it gets really creepy and will make your skin crawl. Dakota Fanning does a great job as well. Kit Harrington has a small part too. It was a little too long and moved pretty slow, but overall kept me engaged. I give it a 7/10."

"Guy Pearce is THE actor to play every hateful, evil, demonic, loathsome role ever written. His acting is so well done it makes me hate his characters so much. Needless to say he perfects this role as the evil Preacher in this drama. Very disturbing!"

"The film is cinematic and very well acted, and that is the end of the positives. It is pretty much one big trigger warning. "

"this was so different, and i still think about it"

"This movie had me on the edge of my seat... I absolutely loved it. It kept me guessing, and it was executed excellently. A must watch!"
