So glad to get your take on the movie.

Glad to be of assistance!

I haven't seen it yet, and sometimes the hype makes me wonder ... but from what you say here, it's as good as they're saying.

It was good in an entirely different way than I had expected, or been led to expect. The reviews I had read mostly talked about its unforgivingness, its fearlessness, its contempt for the touchstones of movie epic; Daniel Day-Lewis. No one said, American mythscape. I'd double-bill it with The Night of the Hunter.

That's one I definitely want to see.

Enjoy!
