I almost warmed to it by its conclusion, but I don't think I can describe 'The Dead Don’t Hurt' as anything that I rate well. I found no interest in anything that was onscreen, disappointingly. The story failed to grab me and the characters that portray it aren't at a good standard either, in my opinion of course. Vicky Krieps does her best and is probably the movie's standout. I do like Garret Dillahunt, albeit from other performances from his career - which seems to be seeing him typecast in these sorta roles, which is a bit of a shame. Pre-watch, I wanted to enjoy this - westerns can be a lot of fun, especially on the big screen - but this just didn't deliver for me personally.

I thought this was a good story, technically well told. I can see why people that expected a traditional western could be bored by it, though. Would make a nice companion piece to The Sisters Brothers (another divisive western).

I had decent expectations for this one and I realized going in it wouldn’t be an action spectacle but I wasn’t prepared for just how slow and ultimately uninteresting it would be. It just felt like scene after scene of nothing happening. A seemingly endless procession of the two main characters not saying or doing anything, always accompanied by a violin soundtrack blaring on and on. Viggo and Vicky both have interesting characters with complex backgrounds but these are only ever teased and not really used for anything. It ultimately felt like the movie hid several far more interesting stories than the one it chose to tell.

Despite the fact that the plot has plenty of holes, this western just about works. It's all about the determined "Vivienne" (Vicky Krieps), very much a woman in a man's world of pioneering in the 1860s. She encounters the honest and thoughtful "Olsen" (Viggo Mortensen) and travels to his remote, and More
