Western

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.

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.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

A solid Coen brothers outing with some exceptional moments and their most mature 30 minutes yet.

Damsel

Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska star in this offbeat western.
