The Dentist

I really enjoyed The Dentist, a Wild West short film with a runtime of only six minutes. But wow, those six minutes delivered a full story packed with humor and a major plot twist. The story only has two actors, but both played their roles well and gave solid performances.

This short film works as a standalone piece, but it could also serve as the opening scene of a full-length Western movie. In fact, I would love to watch a full movie based on the Dentist character, who shares similarities with the mysterious protagonists of iconic 1960s-1980s spaghetti Westerns, such as 'Harmonica' from Once Upon a Time in the West or 'The Preacher' from Pale Rider.

This is definitely one of the better short films out there, especially in the category of films under 10 minutes.

An impeccable crafted short western, generous in humor and with rich twist , great in details and good acting. A dentist, poor far by realism, a rude cowboy and smart victim becoming the justice man against his new patient. And the end as cool revelation. Short, just seductive.
