Every western film we have reviewed that is out now, with the score and where it is streaming. How we rate.
A western is a film about what people do when nobody is coming to help them. The scenery is incidental and the hats are costume. What we score is whether the film understands that its gunfights cost something, and whether it can hold a silence without flinching. Our shelf leans towards Sergio Leone and towards the more talkative revivals of the 2010s, which tells you we prize patience and a good face over a fast draw.
Start with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (92), where Leone stretches a gold hunt over long stares and Ennio Morricone does the rest. Then Unforgiven (92), Clint Eastwood's grave account of violent men and the legends told about them. McCabe & Mrs. Miller (90) is the sad, funny one, and worth the effort of listening closely. After those, High Noon and Lone Star show what the form can do in a town rather than a landscape.
