A24 On The Rocks

21. Slow West (2015) Film Review


Listen Later

Slow West was a 2015 A24 Western film written and directed by punk rock star John Maclean. Taking place in 1870 Colorado, young Jay Cavandish (played by Kodi Smit-Mcphee) treks into the wild wild west with help from a bounty hunter named Silas (played by Michael Fassbender) to find an unrequited love from his homeland of Scotland. On the way, he encounters all the dangers and thrills of the anarchy of the Rocky Mountains. The A24 Rocks gang discusses the screenwriting, directing, and costume design of the film while also debating who they would've been if they had lived in the U.S. in 1870. Slow West was critically-acclaimed and even won an award at the Sundance Film Festival, but does this outlaw gang of film reviewers agree with the critics? Tune in to find out. Caution: movie spoilers.
