    pointless and pretentious

    This is really a stupid film which gets more and more absurd as it goes on. We had a laugh at its expense however.

    if you have a LOT of time

    There is a good film in here, but it ultimately gets lost in the overly long run time. But yes it is a fascinating oddity: An unconventional western dominated by the desires of women. worth watching. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 3/16/2021

    Pointless and pretentious? Seriously?

    As a matter of fact, this film is quiet the exact opposit: a delicate and raw masterpiece genuinely directed/photographed by a very gifted french director. And the actors are just perfect. One of the best movies by far from 2020. Not for everybody, especially not for pointless and pretentious fake profiles.

    good movie

    For those who like westerns, this is an immersive movie. It is a film where the emotions of the actresses in particular stand out.

    Slow movie not worth your time

    Was a tough movie to finish, nothing new or original and slow paced/boring. 2 hours was just too much yet I still watched it through somehow
