I use to be biased against films with exceedingly long titles but..

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2016)

This is a beautifully made film. From the score to the cinematography to the gentle but gradual pace of the film that somewhat reflects our perceptions of that period. It will definitely make you come back for seconds. The scene with the eponymous assassination is worth watching just on its own! I had never heard of the Andrew Dominik before but this certainly draws one's attention, (Director and Screenwrite!) Also i can't help shake the feeling that this movies is a tribute to Robert Ford ('there would be no eulogies for Bob'). I would also like to add that Sam Rockwell does not receive the credit he deserves (he) puts in a stellar performance alongside Casey Affleck. As for Brad Pitt, we see the early signs of his whatchamacallit southern accent of Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained fame.
