Our thoughts
Viggo Mortensen is a captivating screen presence, but it's also great to see him behind the camera for this one. Beautiful landscapes juxtaposed with classic-styled drama is exactly what the genre demands! Vicky Krieps is a great actress who we don't see enough of.

★★★★ Violence and tragedy is where the story is naturally heading The Guardian
★★★★ Mortensen twists the tropes until the end. TheWrap
★★★★ It’s a welcome spin on the once-dominant genre that now struggles for oxygen Total Film
