Films Watched in 2021- (7/???)First Cow (2020) - Kelly Reichardt (3/5)Just like Meek’s Cutoff, the film is (to be blunt) slow as hell. There’s an opening scene in the modern day that’s not only plot unnecessary but also removes any stakes the move remotely attempts to have near the end; overall, the shots go on for a long time and trimming could easily be done–it doesn’t need to be two hours long. However, it’s great to see a movie that shows a wide swath of people living in 1820′s Oregon (primarily a non-accented Chinese immigrant) and non of the plot revolving around strife between the whites and either indigenous people or other minorities. There’s also a bit of subtext between the two leads, if you choose to read the film a certain way as a result of certain characters not being depicted adequately in media. -- source link
