Godless

Godless (2017) 

Western is not one of my favourite genres, but every once in a while a gem comes along that convinces me that it's actually not so bad. The trailer gave me the impression that this was going to be a purely feminist western, but it's not. The whole thing is well balanced and all the important characters, and there are not few of them, have their space. This western doesn't just divide good and evil, the plots and characters are complex, which is why, for example, you'll like the main ruthless villain in his own way. And another thing I have to highlight is the music and cinematography – beautiful visuals and scenery, many slow motion shots with unconventional angles, a feast for the eyes. Certainly recommended.
