    Well, several of the reviews I read call it the film of the year.

    There are conflicting views as to which of the two versions of the film is more fateful to the book...but then I never read the book.

    I searched around for a bad review, something all movies get, but I didn’t find it. Maybe I just didn’t spend enough time but I didn’t want to waste more of my time on it.

    I am looking forward to seeing it.

    One review I read said that you need to see it more than once.

    I still have to wait two months and hope I can find a theater showing it in the original English.

    It is just not the same watching Westerns dubbed and everyone speaks in perfect High German.

    Saw it, thoroughly enjoyed it. Easily the best western since Unforgiven, possibly going even farther back. This isn't the last we've seen of that young actress, that's for certain. Bridges was awesome, Damon was Damon, and Brolin was good but underused. Loved the soundtrack too.
