Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved The Beguiled or Django Unchained, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.

Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
Rated R: expect violence.

In this radically reimagined American Western set towards the end of the Civil War, Southerner Augusta encounters two renegade, drunken soldiers who are on a mission of pillage and violence. After escaping an attempted assault, Augusta races back to the isolated farmhouse that she shares with her sister Louise and their female slave Mad. When the pair of soldiers track Augusta down intent on exacting revenge, the trio of women are forced to take up arms to fend off their assailants, finding ways to resourcefully defend their home––and themselves––as the escalating attacks become more unpredictable and relentless.
