McCabe & Mrs. Miller

For the final film of the month we have McCabe & Mrs. Miller

First off, we have the story which has a gambler and a prostitute become business partners in a remote Old West mining town, and their enterprise thrives until a large corporation arrives on the scene. I thought the story was very enjoyable and the slow pacing helped that. 

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were in terms of the main stars of the film very good but the rest of the cast provided a good backing to the films story to add conflict and chemistry. 

As for the film's visuals I thought it looked really good with the gritty and dirty styled in terms of the cinematography with the camera movement/positioning as well as the lighting choices. Moving onto the tone of the film which I enjoyed as it helped build the slow pacing of the story in order to escalate it. I thought the soundtrack of the film was very good and one of the best parts about the film which added to the atmosphere felt throughout the story and setting of the film. 

Overall, I thought this film was a very entertaining film and again decided to take a different turn with the Western genre of film which made it more enjoyable and makes it stand out to others of the same genre.

I give McCabe & Mrs. Miller a score of 8/10
