“This superbly made, austere film is Reichardt’s best yet …. and a powerful new addition to the western genre.” Peter Bradshaw The Guardian<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In 1845, six settlers and their guide, Meek, set out across the desert on a two week journey. Five weeks later, low on supplies and effectively lost, they capture a Native American who, in return for his safety, agrees to lead them to water, thereby questioning Meek’s credibility.<\/p>\n

\n
“Employing … stylistic restraint and (a) sense of inexorably mounting tension, Reichardt creates a mood which is at once entirely believable and entrancingly otherworldly.” Tom Huddleston Time Out<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
