This is an in-between Jacques Audiard film for me. Not to the level of Rust & Bone and The Prophet but way stronger than Dheepan. The screenplay is very dark and although plenty of head-scratchers through-out, the conclusion is emotionally satisfying. one of Jake Gyllenhaal's best performances.

Benoît Debie is one of the world's greatest living cinematographers... but goddamn does the digital stick out with this film. Not sure why it wasn't treated better in post. Or again... why a film of this budget and style wasn't shot on film is a mystery to me. Still worth seeing on the big screen. Framing, lighting, production design and locations are top notch.

Watched at Cineplex Odeon Intl. Village, Vancouver

save a horse, ride jake gyllenhaal

any film that recognizes that john c reilly is a perfect romantic lead is good by me

riz [to jake]: have we met before?
me: YES ISSA NIGHTCRAWLER REUNION UP IN THIS BITCH! 🎉🍾

Looooved. Mostly because of the cast and their performances. John C. Reilly kills it. Probably gonna see again.

Check it out

Every morning I walk out of the apartment and have to cross the entrance of a heavily trafficked drive-thru Starbucks on my way to the bus stop, and rare is the instance in which I am not almost run over by some jackass pulling out a little too far into the thoroughfare to make the exit turn. I complained about this to Molly once, and she said, "Man, the system is designed to make us enemies of each other." Smart woman, I'm very lucky.

Joaquin in The Sisters Brothers + Joaquin in You Were Never Really Here = Joaquin in Joker

Chaotic, comedic, bolstered by a quintessential quartet; John, the light to Joaquin's dark; Jake the brain and Riz the heart. A pinch of Reichardt, a dash of Coen, marinated in a delicious Desplat score with brilliant writing that's sure to fly over the heads of many.

A truly delightful, touching, thrilling road trip adventure on horseback. If this doesn't reach the masses, it has the spirit to become a cult classic.

joaquin phoenix AND jake gyllenhaal AND riz ahmed all riding horses in the desert, punching & shooting each other, speaking in weird accents ??? sounds like something i’d come up with in a fever dream give it to me Now

Weirder and sadder than I expected and honestly I should see it again.

The cast is to die for, but the narrative is so ponderous and the dialogue so stilted that it makes for a disappointingly mediocre viewing experience. Themes are doled out awkwardly and would be even more so if not for the talent of the actors. Not the worst of the year, but there's nothing particularly interesting here that warrants the runtime.

GRADE: C+

i love that time of the year where i feel bad about 4.5/5 and 5/5ing so much because everything it just that great

I’ve not seen that many westerns to be honest not my go to genre but am opening up exploring discovering other genres, from the select few I’ve watched they tend to stay to a specific formula storytelling and themes but not this one , this one way different odd Unusual and unexpectedly hilarious wasn’t quite sure if this was a western has a quite variety of mixed genres along the main one being Western. Reminded me a lot of the Australian western from 2005 The proposition

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Audiards Western hat eine ganz ungewöhnliche Stimmung an die ich mich erst einmal gewöhnen musste. Brutal, roh, dreckig und dann auch wiederum mit witzigen und heiteren Momenten. Mit Phoenix, Gyllenhaal, Ahmed und dem schwer unterschätzten Reilly zudem hervorragend besetzt. Manchmal leider etwas zäh und kommt nicht an die bisher gesehenen Werke des Regisseurs heran..

Ain’t nothing to it

they say “the sisters brothers” a lot in this, i get it, it’s funny, can we move on? 

the score is great though

Esta película brilla por las actuaciones de su elenco principal, sientes pena por Joaquin Phoenix, pero John C. Reilly demuestra que tranquilamente puede ser el protagonista de cualquier otra pelicula. Un western emotivo, pero que en gran parte de la primera mitad va demasiado lento.

considering the incredible cast this was pretty disappointing. the cinematography and production design were really good but the writing was garbage. the tension and relationships between characters just wasn't interesting and the whole thing felt uninspired. first cow and true grit do frontier america so much better. but hey. 2 stars for jake gyllenhaal and riz ahmed together. the sexual tension between those two (in this and also nightcrawler) is unmatched.

Loved it. Really interesting characters. John and Hermann are so in love.

one of the best and most unconventional westerns that i've seen

this is for riz and jake only : hi i am free on saturday ! if ur free !

so much fun i love chaos and this is such a random bunch of actors in one place very enjoyable 

kinda wanted some giant shootout/fight at the end but still a satisfying watch

Uma missão do Red Dead Redemption...
Gostei das locações que usaram... muito bonitas...
Toda a jornada é boa...
E o quarteto tá atuando normal...

Jake and Riz back at it again! This time he only betrayed him a little bit.
