And this is from a guy who loves westerns and dialog-heavy films.
Ditto. Acting is good, basic story premise is good, score is good and cinematography good, but it's way too long, much longer than it needs to be, it's boring, and it's pretentious as fuck. Felt the same way about "There Will Be Blood", of course I pretty much feel that way about all Paul Thomas Anderson films, with the exception of "Boogie Nights"
