True Grit (2010 Joel and Ethan Coen, & scr)

Can only understand one in every two of Jeff Bridge' sentences. Hailee Steinfeld great, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Barry Pepper

Ph. Roger Deakins, and operated. At this point had been nominated for 10 Oscars and won none. Roger won his third BAFTA and the ASC Lifetime Achievement Award. His lighting in dark scenes wonderful, opening shot, also those bleak woods; and a crane shot over the horizon that makes mountains appear.

The dead man whose teeth are traded a typically Coen moment; long range sniper moment perfect; great lines especially those for Hailee's character.

Brought The Searchers to mind more than once, and made me want to watch it and Rio Bravo, Butch Cassidy, The Wild Bunch and Liberty Valance.
