Saville Kushner

Stunning movie with brilliantly conceived dreams and flashbacks with amazing editing. Rather than settle for less with a typical Hollywood ending, he starts, as it were, with that sentimental coda and unravels it in a surprising and satisfying way. Can’t wait to see it again to savour it.

This is one of the very best of modern tv series. Besides top quality acting it is entirely fearless about addressing issues in race, the nature of parenthood, gender, economic status and so on. Stunning.

This show is either brilliant or rubbish. Read one way it is a fine pastiche of The Magnificent Seven and Clint Eastwood’s High Plains Drifter. It stops short of a parody though since it takes itself so seriously - and that makes it confusing.Young religious children turned murderers of people they don’t know and have no connection with...? Mass murder taking place with no cops - except the one who winked Roth on to do most of the carnage. Mawkish scenes of tragic confessions and empty self sacrifice? Lone gunman walking to face death down a steep dusty road topped by a towering dead tree? And to cap it - a poor rural god-fearing community saved by a rootless gunslinger! The parody was perfect - if that’s what it is. If it isn’t......... if it’s to be taken at face value (a wake-up call to Proud Boys and Patriots - “every man has the right to defend his own!”).... if we are being asked to suspend disbelief right up to the stratosphere...... to embrace the clownish overacting........ then it’s rubbish. You can add to the entertainment by keeping a tally of how many people Roth casually ‘takes out’.
