Kevin Costner's new Western epic 'Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1' is being slammed by critics following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. 'Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1' is the first film in writer, director & star Costner's massive four-picture gamble that he famously leveraged one of his homes to help finance, spending $38 million out of pocket for the $90 million-budgeted film. And while the movie received a 10-minute standing ovation at Cannes, the reviews so far have been overwhelmingly negative.

Critics are often self-important and out of touch. Many reviews I read from them are more focused on making an argument than on giving a down-to-earth & comprehensible assessment of what they just watched.

@noneyabizz8337 29 күн бұрын

Critics push a message. There's so often a disparity between the critic review and the public.

@TheRedman790 28 күн бұрын

Yeah I was wondering if this was the case and just read a review that slipped in "It's confusing that the indigenous people are depicted as bad guys until later we understand a little of their motivations". So basically, this film doesn't fit "the message".

@Lepidopterous. 28 күн бұрын

@@TheRedman790 Exactly. Because it doesn’t fit the movie they WANT to see. I remember similar sounding critiques of Martin Scorsese’s film last year “Killers of the Flower Moon.” I am much more interested to read from reviewers who actually try to see and appreciate what the director is going for. That’s Art 101 as far as I’m concerned.

If the critics don’t like it that means it’s probably a masterpiece. They’ve all complained about movies not being woke enough over the last nine years. you’ll look at the rotten tomatoes scores and the critic scores will be 1 star in audience scores will be 5 stars. These critics live in a bubble they know nothing.

Reasons why the critics hate it: 1) This new generation of critics hate any type of "Americana" filmmaking. 2) Not enough diversity probably. 3) The length and scope is too much for their Tik Tok brains.

What would define a western as “woke”? If the film shows Europeans taking all of the land from Natives by force? Or if Natives and Europeans got along? I don’t understand the issue with “woke” but tyranny is tyranny, oppression is oppression, and if you’re going to define the movie as “woke” if it shows the inquisition as a tyrannical and oppressive conquest you’re going to get all soggy?

@zenquantum1246 To me it sounds like someone would've advised him against this. Two parter, sure I can see that! Risky, but like you said plausible. A trilogy, not impossible but unlikely to yield any true success but a four parter 💀 sounds like he went out of his way to make this a film. Probably still thinks TV is a lesser format and wanted it to be on the silver screen/do the festival circuit etc. He could've just pitched it to HBO, FX or Apple as a eight part miniseries/limited series. I have a feeling he didn't want it to be compared to any of Taylor Sheridan's western series lol his ego blinded him
