Review

haven’t seen the other films in the calvary trilogy, but i can’t imagine there’s a more definitive look at the calvary than this one. i didn’t love the film overall, mostly because of the simplistic cowboys/indians dialectic. it’s a fairly entertaining film, but there’s nothing amazing here. my favorite element of the film was certainly the cinematography and location shooting. the monument valley is just so beautiful it’s hard not to like a movie that’s filmed there.
