Boring at times, yes too long, yes

at the same time

Incredibly emotionally gripping cinematic masterpiece that brings to light a mostly forgotten piece of history.

Also it was a complete twist on the "western" format, might even be Scorseses attempt at a historical conclusion to the format entirely. This film will change things and will as so many others only become more cherished in the future.

The cinematography provides some scenes which pull forth an ancient tribal feeling, a connection with the surroundings that seems completely lost in other movies that make an attempt at it.

In most films love seems to be about romance and the solution to problems. Here it is portrayed as ideal yet cursed. It leaves the viewer feeling hollow and bewildered.

Deniro as the bad guy did not invoke any sympathy: also rare in current cinema. He was simply a monster from the first second to the last. Personally it was refreshing to see a bad guy without any backstory, remorse or exceptional "coolness".

This is a masterpiece. A very speciel one.

Went in to watch some drama while sick on the couch. Turns out this was actually a massively surprising case study about a fictional psychopath or not psychopath (no spoilers) This show starts out lowering your expectations to zero. Then builds up until the rather surprising ending. Was I tired or did i massively underestimate how much thought went i to this little netflix gem, but as a result I got tricked by the show multiple times. Open minded and self diciplined (in not predicting thing) viewers might very well enjoy this program. I recommend to all people who do not care about perfect realism in a TV program. Especially in one not meant to be all that real. I took it as a play and enjoyed it immensely. The cinematography was at times also completely spot on, amazing even. Soap opera scenes not so much.

Overrated this to 8 stars just to boost the score. Solid 6-7 in reality.
