Review by Dr_Aristotle

Can't recall having seen a Western like this before, was more of an intimate thriller. Was a wonderful watch though, especially in how it handles builds and pays off tension throughout. How tension is shifted between the various pairs of characters and, when things boil over, it doesn't manifest through physical violence but petty actions, social manipulations, and attacks to others sense of self and feelings of belonging or adequacy makes this really feel pretty unique within the genre.

There's a thematic throughline about repression between characters and seeing the various ways in which they, both advertently and inadvertently, contribute towards those feelings in others that result in said repressions is fascinating to witness.

Can't guarantee you'll like this if you're looking for something more conventional within the genre but if you're into thrillers with more low-key and intimate stakes or watching shifting social dynamics play out within a period piece, give this a chance.
