Rating: 3/5 --
Kodi Smit-McPhee and Michael Fassbender, both physically and in the way they inhabit their roles, dovetail excellently.

Patrick Nabarro
A western fable with an often dreamlike vibe, SLOW WEST proves to be a surprisingly sly tale of passion, greed and survival.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/5 --
As the title suggests, Maclean is in no hurry. Even at the most climactic moments, he always looks for an offbeat perspective.

Independent (UK)
A meticulously crafted story with indelible performances from the likes of Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ben Mendelsohn and Caren Pistorius...one is transported back in time, immersed in cinematic beauty and scope, and loving every second of it.

Behind The Lens
3 stars out of 4 -- In the end, no matter how offbeat, this is a Western, so we know a shootout is coming. When it does, Maclean holds nothing back. He stages it with wit and style.
Chicago Sun-Times
4 stars out of 5 -- Maclean has made a Western of such confident ease that it’s hard to believe this is the director’s first feature film.
Empire
[A]n absurdist deconstruction of classic Hollywood westerns whose 21st-century view of frontier mythology is as sardonic as that of the Coen brothers.
New York Times
Product Description:
This surreal Western, which expertly mixes deadpan absurdism and sudden shocks of violence, stars Michael Fassbender and Kodi Smit-McPhee as a mismatched duo making their way through the 19th century American frontier. Smit-McPhee plays Jay Cavendish, a young Scottish noble who travels to the U.S. in search of his true love Rose (Caren Pistorius). Fassbender plays Silas Selleck, a taciturn bounty hunter in the mold of Clint Eastwood's iconic Man With No Name, who offers to act as Jay's guide on his journey. What Jay doesn't realize, however, is that Rose and her father (Rory McCann) are wanted for murder, and Silas is using the lovesick man as a means to capture his prey. SLOW WEST marks the feature-film debut of director John Maclean, who also wrote the screenplay.
