My all-time favorite film, an overlooked masterpiece

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is the greatest film I have ever seen. It is an intricate and meditative story about obsession, celebrity, loyalty, and melancholy, all against the backdrop of a mythical 1880s Wild West that maybe never was and certainly won't be for much longer. It is a revisionist Western that strips bare the legends that make American history and dares to portray one of its towering figures as a deeply flawed human being. Some say the title, in addition to being too long, gives the story away, but that's exactly wrong. The film challenges that narrative while reminding us that despite the nuances of Jesse James and Robert Ford as they were in life, history will remember them both one way and one way only: the hero and the villain, the brave outlaw and the dirty coward.

This film is flawlessly shot with cinematography by the all-time great Roger Deakins; it is flawlessly scored with music full of melancholy and inevitability by Nic Cave and Warren Ellis; it is flawlessly acted by career-best performances by its leads Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck in addition to brilliant secondary performances by now-household names like Sam Rockwell and Jeremy Renner; it is flawlessly written as an adaptation of Ron Hansen's historical fiction novel of the same name, which I cannot recommend highly enough to any fans of this film. It has passages of poetic scenery that belong in the same discussion as films by Tarkovsky and Malick. It has scenes of tension between characters that rival the most nail-biting dialogues Tarantino has ever come up with. It has thematic depth that, after multiple viewings and reading the book and script countless times, I still haven't reached the bottom of.

I probably sound hyperbolic in my praise of this film, but I have NEVER had such a strong reaction to any film. I admit not everyone will enjoy it, particularly those with short attention spans, but this is a PERFECT film according to my tastes and preferences, and I will never stop loving it.

Beautiful and emotionally gut-wrenching

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2010

I think we can all agree that there were some truly excellent films that have been released in the year 2007. No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Hot Fuzz, and Sicko are fine examples. And granted, there were some really awful films released that year as well (such as Disturbia and Bee Movie), but I won't go into that. Now, there have been three marvelous Western dramas of '07 that I have seen: No Country for Old Men (more of a contemporary Western), There Will Be Blood, and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. These are not your typical shoot-`em-up Westerns; they are psychological thrillers/dramas that can really give you a bad case of chills down the spine. No Country for Old Men is already one of my favorite films of all time. There Will Be Blood, although not one of my personal favorites, is still a masterpiece, and Daniel Day-Lewis deserved the Oscar for Best Actor. As for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.....it is officially on my top favorites list. I mean it, as soon as I finished watching this movie, I began to admire it as much as I did for No Country. And while these two films are greatly different from each other, I think I love this one even more.

The title of this movie does tell you what happens in the movie, but it's so much more than just the notorious assassination. In this film, we see the apparent degradation of Jesse James, while forming an eccentric friendship with Robert Ford and his brother Charley Ford. I won't go into much detail, but both Robert and Charley start to see the silent madness that is inside Jesse. And when both of their lives are in danger, they must make a crucial decision.....

As I said before, this is not your typical Hollywood-style Western. You don't have massive gun battles or chariot chase scenes. What you get here is more of a psychological experience that is beautifully handled. Robert Ford was always looked down upon by people. Many people have seen him as dirt in his entire life, and that's what propels him to become somebody of great talent and inspiration. He looks up to Jesse James, and when the two slowly begin to bond as friends, Robert's respect for the man soon fades later on as he discovers something cynical about the outlaw. Jesse James himself becomes an important part of the story. Once the famous "James" gang is no more, Jesse is now on his own with none other than the Fords. He is still being hunted down by lawmen, and he starts to question his place on this earth (or at least that's how I see it). Judging by his appearance, he can look calm and well-mannered, especially with his own family. But other times, he can look silently psychotic. He can give you an icy stare, and at that moment, you have no idea what is going to happen next. Will he let you go or will he shoot you in the head? I found myself emotionally drenched because of all the emotional chaos that occurs from beginning to end.

This film by Andrew Dominick reminds me of the directing style of Terrence Malick, one of my top favorite directors of all time. Dominick gives us some beautiful shots of natural scenery and trivial objects. The pacing is also familiar: anyone who has seen The Thin Red Line and The New World will know what I'm talking about. It lacks quick cut shots and mind-numbingly loud sound effects, and it's perfect for this film. I wouldn't think this character-driven story would work if it were an ADD-induced action spectacle. Speaking of action, there is very little of it. Most of it occurs in the beginning of the film (the famous train robbery scene), and the film relies heavily on characters and dialogue. This might put some people off who are expecting to see at least a bit of gunplay. If you're looking for some gunplay, then I would highly recommend the recent remake of 3:10 to Yuma, which is also a great Western film.

But, of course, we shouldn't leave out Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck. These are two of the most captivating performances I've ever seen on film. Pitt and Affleck play Jesse James and Robert Ford almost perfectly. The appearances, mannerisms, and communications are really spot-on (especially Affleck). I don't know much about the real James and Ford, but these are still solid performances. Affleck should have won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, but then again, Javier Bardem (from No Country for Old Men) deserved it as well.

This isn't a perfect film, but it's still a beautiful, well-made film that's emotionally gut-wrenching. Of all the Western films that have been made in the 20th Century and the new millennium, this might be my all-time favorite.
