Slow West Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
February 9, 2025
My quick rating - 5.6/10.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Slow West crescendos into a bravura shootout between all the involved parties, and it's as gorgeous, nihilistic, and brutally sad as the rest of the film.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
Slow West is a clipped, super-economical neo-Western-or rather a meta-Western musing on certain conventions of the genre that refuses to die but continues to mutate, these days usually into more or less ironic forms.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It's all of 84 minutes. But when it's done, you know you've seen something.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Writer-director John Maclean insists at every opportunity that the American west teemed with brutality and that every positive myth about the region was built on a lie, yet he doesn't deliver this familiar revisionist history with much force.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Molly Eichel
Maclean's film is a wonderfully dreamy, if meandering, take on the western. Like all movies that use their fantastic surroundings, Slow West is best seen on a big screen.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
[A] meandering, deliberate and tearless - yet oddly moving - western vehicle, which is both slow and, as gunslinger movies tend to be, action packed.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It's always entertaining to see a genre tweaked, at least when it's done so with the proper mix of respect and madness at work in "Slow West."
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Like most genre manipulations, the film feels one step removed from inspiration - that is, more inspired by other movies than by direct experience. It also lives up to its name.
Austin Chronicle
William Goss
That melancholic undercurrent of an era nearly bygone is what holds Slow West together in spite of seeming a shaggy assembly of matter-of-fact executions and stuff-of-legend yarns.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
Might meander a bit, but it never gets lost, and while the film is currently available on demand, it takes a big screen to fully appreciate the wide-open spaces and treacherous, stunning wilderness captured so effectively by cinematographer Robbie Ryan.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The film is too artsy for its own good, but it has some marvelous Coen Brothers-style black humor.
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
"Slow West" must be counted one of the most unintentionally ridiculous Westerns to come down the pike in a long, long while.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
A western fable with an often dreamlike vibe, "Slow West" proves to be a surprisingly sly tale of passion, greed and survival.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
An absurdist deconstruction of classic Hollywood westerns whose 21st-century view of frontier mythology is as sardonic as that of the Coen brothers.
Christianity Today
Alissa Wilkinson
As you might imagine, shoot-outs ensues. But true to its name, Slow West takes a long time to get there, and gives us achingly gorgeous vistas in the process.
The Dissolve
Tasha Robinson
It's a shaggy-dog story full of colorful characters and aimless but diverting narrative byways, all delivered with Andersonian solemnity.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Maclean has something worthwhile to say about the true brutality of the old West, especially as it relates to immigration, but he hasn't quite found a compelling context for those musings, and he sprays ideas like buckshot.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
"Slow West" certainly lives up to its title: It's one poky Western, plodding and perambulating and moseying across the 1870 frontier on a grim march to a pointless ending.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
This is a western through alternative eyes and ears, though what motivates everyone in it - love, money, fear, redemption - is as familiar as an old pair of boots.
