...is the first film I've seen that evokes what must have been the reality of wagon trains to the West. They were grueling, dirty, thirsty, burning and freezing ordeals.

Langsom poetisk arthouse western af den kvindelige instruktør Kelly Reichardt. Hvis man er til traditionelle 'mandfolke-westerns' skal man måske holde sig væk, haha.
