I read the book, right before watching the movie. Mistake. Kept wondering where my favorite scenes from the book were hiding.

[u/bone-in_donuts]

I liked it. When Warm gets the gun pulled on him and has that exasperated look as he declares that the “world is an abomination”, I felt that. That’s a damn inherent truth right there.

[u/InternationalBand494]

I’m glad I read the book before I watched the movie. Damn good book

[u/elle-elle-tee → u/InternationalBand494]

It's a GREAT book. I liked the movie fine, it matched the tone, but so many great turns of phrase are lost.

[u/Repulsive_Mark_5343]

I read the book before seeing the movie. One of the best adaptations I’ve seen.

[u/Important-Proposal28]

Haven't read the book but honestly I really enjoyed the movie. It was different and not what I expected but I thought it was great

[u/Nearby_Situation_400 → u/Important-Proposal28]

The books great too! Has a bit more of a darker, McCarthy-esque vibe to it.

[u/Important-Proposal28 → u/Nearby_Situation_400]

I will have to check it out.

[u/Eyespop4866 → u/Nearby_Situation_400]

I enjoyed the movie. Loved the novel.

[u/xaltairforever]

I was expecting more given the cast.

[u/No_Philosophy2797]

Great movie, even better book.

[u/AuthorityControl]

Book was good.

[u/EquivalentChicken308]

I would say the humor in the novel shines through much more strongly than in the film. The film is good the novel is great.

[u/Nearby_Situation_400 → u/EquivalentChicken308]

I agree Reilly and Phoenix bring a great chemistry as the brothers but it doesn’t quite capture the rawness of the book

[u/evnrayash]

Own it on bluray

[u/nightrider2072]

It’s actually a pretty good movie imo, I’ve watched it twice and have recommended it to others.

[u/DriftlessHiker1]

Thought the movie was good but the novel is one of my favorite books, western or otherwise

[u/wookiex84]

[u/vann_siegert]

I saw it in the theatre.

[u/lowercase_underscore → u/vann_siegert]

I bet it looked beautiful on a big screen.

[u/KinagoOG]

As others have already said, the book was much better. I couldn’t get into the film, ended up quite disappointed with it.

[u/Nadsworth]

It was . . . fine.

[u/bwolfs08 → u/Nadsworth]

Agree. It was beautiful landscape photography, but was soo underwhelming.

[u/banallfurries666 → u/bwolfs08]

yeah i agree. the book is nuts. this movie SHOULD be good, but it’s so half assed

[u/bwolfs08 → u/banallfurries666]

Hmm maybe I’ll check out the book then. Appreciate it.

[u/banallfurries666 → u/bwolfs08]

one of my favorites!!! you’ll love it dude

[u/ThatAd1883]

The book was so much better, and Im not sure why exactly.

[u/SillyStreet9699]

I went in blind thinking Step Brothers. Whoops!

After I adjusted to the mood I enjoyed it but man not what I expected.

[u/Lblomeli]

It's an Fn awesome western.

[u/BeautifulDebate7615]

Watched it twice, didn't like it either time. Second time the post-modern dialogue really bothered me. Good hats, though.

[u/Next-Bottle5126]

Pretty dope western piece 

[u/Normal-Being-2637]

I tried…couldn’t stick with it…

[u/Bigstar976]

Love it.

[u/edfun83]

Great movie! Some reason it went right under the radar. I think that was Rutger Hauers last film

[u/MaintenanceInternal]

Masterpiece is a bold statement.

Best thing about it was John C Reilly's toothbrush nod.

[u/jazz-winelover → u/MaintenanceInternal]

John C Reilly, badass.

[u/rapscallion1956]

I liked it. Quite a lot. But, masterpiece??? Naw, I don’t think so.

[u/cotardelusion87]

What the fuck is the point of these posts? You could at least try and add something to the conversation outside of “have you heard of insert movie title here”. An explanation as to why you think this movie is a (as you call it) masterpiece would be a start.

[u/Madd_Maxx2016 → u/cotardelusion87]

Well they got you to engage!

[u/Rolling_Pugsly]

You mean read it, or seen it?

Both for me.

[u/YouDontKnowMe4949]

Watched it twice , can't recall one scene.

[u/TwistedFated]

Thought it was lame stoned and straight. Even with the stellar cast.

[u/Advanced_Plankton_60]

The first time I watched it I thought it was ok, I went in blind just looking forward to a western. Watched it again recently and really liked it, it's got some really funny moments.

[u/thehogsnatcher308]

I've seen it around looks like I gotta watch it

[u/Potential_Log1472]

Love it one of my top western films!

[u/Swigen17]

Really liked this film when I saw it in theaters. It's available on Plex so I should give it a re-watch.

[u/QBSwain]

I watched it. Well-acted and well-made and all, but i didn't like it as much as i wanted to, or as much as i thought i might. Not entirely sure why not. Maybe i'll give it another shot someday.

[u/Euphoric_Look_1186]

I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this but I really enjoyed it. Great western and one I’ll be adding to my collection.

[u/thejohnmc963]

Loved the movie!

[u/UnlikelyOcelot]

I enjoyed the book, the author’s use of language of that time, and was excited to find the movie. It’s like they ran out of money or something. I can’t remember my specific criticism but I know I was disappointed.

[u/General-Skin6201 → u/UnlikelyOcelot]

Yes, the book was better.

[u/Giovanni_Fello]

Great Cinema.

[u/FinalFinalGirl666]

Love this one! The casting was 🔥

[u/HighlightAcademic194]

I didn't like it.

[u/No-Objective-8257]

Yep, saw it in the cinema. Went in with low expectations and wow was i impressed. Loved the music also

[u/Useful-Upstairs3791]

I did not enjoy it. It rambles and wastes time and the ending is the epitome of anticlimactic. I will admit the acting is good and the cinematography is beautiful though

[u/KurtMcGowan7691]

I experienced it, and the book. I wouldn’t call either masterpieces, but they’re definitely original. I don’t know what else the director has done.

[u/LancasterDodd5 → u/KurtMcGowan7691]

Emilia Perez

[u/nakedambition31]

When it came out, I was looking forward to it. Being a rutger hauer fan, I did enjoy the film enough to buy it, though still was disappointed he only played a corpse.

[u/TheBardicSpirit → u/nakedambition31]

Lol, that's unfortunate mate, made me laugh though :)

[u/PandiBong]

Read the book, thought it was terrible. Saw the film, thought it was pretty bad.

[u/rrivan25]

The book suuuuuuuuuuucked. So I never watched it

[u/foreverpeppered → u/rrivan25]

The book is great, Patrick deWitt nailed the humor and western adventure IMO

[u/rrivan25 → u/foreverpeppered]

The end though..

[u/PandiBong → u/rrivan25]

Agree. Terrible book. Film is slightly better, so only bad.
