Synopsis

Set at the end of the 19th Century, the story centers on 17 year old Jay Cavendish (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who has traveled from Scotland to Colorado to be reunited with the woman with whom he is infatuated. He is quickly confronted by the dangers of the frontier and so teams up with a mysterious traveler named Silas (Michael Fassbender), who agrees to protect him for cash. Jay's journey is fraught with danger, double-crossing and violence as he comes to realize that America is not easy on the innocent. 'Slow West' is John Maclean's debut on the big screen after writing and directing several short films such as 'Pitch Black Heist' or 'Man on a Motorcycle'. In 'Slow West' also stars Ben Mendelsohn and Caren Pistorius.

What the critics say average 6.7 from 5

8.5 VarietyJustin Chang The impeccable debut of John Maclean has at times the characteristic touch of the Coen's with its mix of intelligent humor and unsettling violence. Read
7.5 The WrapAlonso Duralde A worth exploring film with moments of natural beauty and surprising violence. In addition Michael Fassbender knows how to perform just like Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood. Read
7.0 Chicago Sun-TimesBill Goodykoontz It's always fun to watch a genre tweaked , at least when it's done showing the right mix of respect and madness at work in 'Slow West'. Read
