I would say this is a chick-flick but it really isn't. I would say this is your usual love triangle movie, which was what I was thinking about 30 minutes in. BUT it really wasn't. The plot line twisted into something that was completely creative, and did it so naturally that it was a surprise. The director is to be hugely credited, not just for his brilliant casting, but for everything else about this movie. The screenplay was fantastic. The real show was the two lead actresses. Their acting, their character, and their chemistry is at a level I haven't seen in a Western movie since I don't know when. In fact, they were both given the Golden Horse awards - that's the equivalent of the Academy handing out 2 Oscars for Best Actress for the same film. Unheard of, right? But it makes perfect sense here! Well done, ladies! Well.Done.
