New Kelly Reichardt. Featuring one of the last performances of the great Rene Auberjonois.
"In the 19th century, a cook travels with fur trappers to the Oregon Territory. He connects with a Chinese immigrant, and they start a business with the surreptitious use of a milking cow owned by a wealthy landowner."
Seeing it this weekend. I'll let you know.
One of my most anticipated this year :bravo:
Decent?
Seems a bit cheesy for me

It's interesting neither of you have (apparently) seen this yet. Given the date, do I assume it got lost in the pandemic?
I watched it last night, and rather liked it--especially the gentle relationship between the two leads. I think I enjoyed the first half a bit more than the second--it started to lag a bit, I thought, but :yabbse-thumbup: .
you know at the time we didn't know the closure of society was imminent. this movie has a special slot in terms of being prepandemic in the year of the pandemic

I watched it a few weeks ago and honestly was a bit disappointed. I'll admit, my experience could have been impacted by be not being in quite the right mood to watch (although I thought I was when I sat down) and at times it felt like I was watching the Battle of Winterfell. I agree, the first half is superior. It deserves me to give it another chance at some point; Meek's Cutoff markedly improved on my second viewing. On The Rocks was another film I'd been really looking forward to in 2020 that fell short of what I was hoping for. Both should be rewatched on their own terms.

THANK you for acknowledging that this is a thing. (Not that anyone was denying it.) I feel better being reminded that I'm not the only one that ends up in this headspace sometimes.
