Andrew M @Andrew1009998 3d The first half was nice, gorgeous scenery, decent (but slow) storyline. It then devolved into such a tortured mess of tropes as to be parody. Sceneries don't line up, dialog and staging is a reductive mess. See more Sally G @Sallycigim 3d An unusually good Western with all the classic elements and quite a bit more. See more Michael D @Treyhorse 6d Watch this film! This Bloody Country is a beautiful, tense and sprawling portrait of a pioneering journey Westward, riddled with nuance and slow burning character development, sure to keep you locked in for the ride. Martin Dingle-Wall shines as the lead role, an Aussie Cowboy hired to guide and protect a family of Mormon settlers through gorgeous but hostile desert landscapes, as they make the passage through Utah to Arizona in the 1800s. His performance is understated and subtle at first and builds throughout the film until trickles become streams and bubble over to a river in the climactic sequences that bring both the hostile and romantic tensions to a head and resolve them in complex and satisfying manners. It’s a masterclass in less is more filmmaking that will keep you in the saddle and deeply intrenched in the lives and journey of these characters.

It’s beautifully shot and when you finish, you’re sorry it’s over. It reminds me of why I love independent film.

It's a thinking person's movie - carrying you on the journey with the characters in the moment, and staying with you long after the movie ends. What happens next? What if one or two of the characters (I won't tell you who I'm thinking about) made a different decision? Watch and enjoy! See more Read all reviews
