Title: Slow, deliberate, fascinating, sad
Product review: This is a very artful film, deliberately paced and beautifully shot, which simultaneously deglamourizes the Jesse James of legend, and makes his final days into a rich aesthetic experience. The cinematography is beautiful (although it verges on the overly-artsy) and the paceof the film is reflective and sombre. Casey Affleck is stunning as the twitchy, shifty, calculating, craven Bob Ford, a wretch who had the sad fortune to be James' assassin, back in 1882. Affleck's performance is a real doozy, creating from whole cloth one of the most complex, pathetic, unnerving character portraits in recent memory. A niceaddition to the growing genre of postmodern Western films. (Joe Sixpack, Slipcue film reviews)
