Focuses on style rather than substance

Rating: 4/10 (27 December 2018)

Much like its title, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is too long. It also focuses on style rather than substance. There is some remarkable cinematography in this film, and the score is hauntingly beautiful, but the plot wanders and drags and the movie suffers because of it. It may have piqued my interest about the life of Jesse James, but I doubt I'll ever watch this film again.
