West Texas has never looked more interesting.

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2017)

It is easy to dip into clichés when describing "No Country for Old Men," to talk about the plot that feels as big as West Texas itself, and as someone who has driven through way too many times, it is a gigantic place.
Those crutches are understandable, because the movie does feel as big as Texas. The big skies that are in the movie from the very first scene and continue to its close add a sort of inhumanity to the film's atmosphere. The intense yet well-done violence and the terror it produces feels as insignificant to the vistas of West Texas as the scattering of deer that Llewellyn tries to hunt near the beginning of the movie.
"No Country" manages to combine sublime beauty and rip-roaring fun.
(I have seen this several times after Fall 2016, last on May 3, 2017.)
