Film-Forward

Western

Americana

A decent first-time effort that takes on more ideas than it can fully explore.

Eddington

A smug, tongue-out gesture at sensitive topics or a sharp-eyed tapestry of American dysfunction?

Butcher’s Crossing

Cage brings his trademark intensity to the role, albeit quiet and grizzled, to this effortlessly intense and beautiful looking western.

Strange Way of Life/The Human Voice | NYFF 2023

Pedro Almodóvar’s 31-minute Western-cum-queer-love-story is on a double-bill with The Human Voice.

Utama

Set on the Andean plateau, Utama takes the conventions of the Western genre in a different direction.

Old Henry

Sometimes trusting the tropes of the genre and simply telling a good, involving story is enough. This western understands this and spins its tale with confidence and style.

Bacurau

An innovative and fresh work to Brazilian cinema as well as the many genres that the movie digests, and it’s one of the best and most unique approaches to the western in recent years.

The Wind

A sincere attempt to make an original horror film.

The Mustang

Where home on the beautiful range is a prison.
