A gorgeous modern western

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2019)

I love this movie. It's top 5 all time for me and criminally underrated (although I think more people know about it now). I remember watching it with a group of people with the lights on in some random hostel in Croatia but after the first 10 minutes I had to walk away. I couldn't watch it in that setting. I needed to experience the movie fully after seeing how good the start was so I watched it later. I was not disappointed. The cast is unbelievable and had many actors earlier in their careers. It has scenes I still will watch to this day and a soundtrack I'll still listen to as well. It is long and maybe even boring for some but totally worth it. There's no reason it shouldn't have been nominated for best picture and original score but I'm glad it got multiple Oscar nominations.
Years later I ended up reading the book which was also great. I don't know if there's a better adaptation out there from book to movie. So many lines were straight from it and I would almost argue that you should watch the movie before you read the book(naturally so you can say the lines like the characters in the movie while reading it).
