I don't think I've ever seen a movie this beautiful... Roger Deakins' cinematography was a revelation. If I watched the film on mute, and it would feel like a visual orgasm. With my eyes closed, it is an auditory dream. I don't think I've ever been so artistically impressed by the singular achievement of each component of a film.

[SpikevsDracula]

Bad reviews for a film like this come from people without a true understanding of film, a true understanding of art in general even. I think 2007 brought us two artistic masterpieces in the context of film - There Will Be Blood and this. I think both films are beautiful, whilst also being gritty and dark of course.

One of the best westerns ever. Excellent score, everything about this film was amazing.

The only thing about this movie that I didn't really like was the narration. It wasn't really necessary to understand the story or what was going on. I feel like everything after the death of Charlie could have been summed up with some shots of Robert moving on, living life and eventually being killed. You could have done all that without dialogue. Just have some of this amazing music playing over it. Maybe with a text card at the end with some of the info on it.

great music i like the fact that it keeps carrying on and on like repetetive and that things keep adding on to the main tune like at o:16 the harmonica.

@Seargent363 It's sad that this film never reached it's full potential box office or awards wise. Apparently, this is Brad Pitt's favourite film starring himself. Says a lot as he's been in some huge films especially in the last decade.

@AllyVR I don't see that happening sadly since this movie was a major flop, but I hope by some miracle it does happen.

This is the only film that I've ever heard so many people agreeing on about it being 'the best film ever'. That shows just how powerful it is, yet it is so underrated. Andrew Dominik has made a film that is perfect and yet people won't watch it. It just shows how the spew of rom-coms and hollywood bull has corrupted people into rejecting proper cinema for quickly made crap. I hope Dominik releases the original cut, the 4 1/2 hour version.
