"This sometimes felt oppressive, but also engaging. The way Kelly Reichardt frames her movies becomes a part of the story itself. Like a character hidden in plain sight. The frame is always making a statement in some way. The ending is perfect for this kind of movie."

"I hate “Westerns”, they whitewash history & glorify colonization. I watched this because several reviews mentioned the female director centering women but…..that NEVER happened. Giving women a few more lines of dialogue or not using assault as a plot device is NOT benchmark for making a feminist film. I’m not even going to get into the seemingly obligatory part of Westerns that has to include an indigenous character being subjugated. Pass"

"The cinematography is beautiful, but overall, this film wasn’t really my cup of tea. I might have liked it more if we got to know the characters better from the get-go. I also wish the scenes at night weren’t so dark! Let me see what’s on screen other than a lantern :P"
