L'état sauvage

St Charles is in Missouri, USA. In the movie they are going to New York. They certainly took the long way. Parts of the movie looked a little like the Rockies. Other parts looked like Utah and South Dakota. There are no bad lands between Missouri and New York. Still other parts were not at all on the possible trip, did not even look like North American. And what season was it? Fall to winter back to fall. It does not snow that much in the southern USA. What about the civil war? Nothing related to civil war on their trip. Just in the beginning. You would think they would come across an old battlefield. The acting was good! Scripts undeveloped. The editing and the planning of the sets were really bad. The film did not support the skills of the actors and just left me confused.

For those who like westerns, this is an immersive movie. It is a film where the emotions of the actresses in particular stand out.

Was a tough movie to finish, nothing new or original and slow paced/boring. 2 hours was just too much yet I still watched it through somehow

This is not really a review, it should be taken more as a collection of impressions of the film.

From my point of view, a fairly underrated film that manages to entertain by proposing different dynamics of the classic Western in a very beautiful way. The film is a very classic journey across half of America where we don't know who will survive and after various deaths and vicissitudes our valiant heroes grow up as people. The film is therefore very simple but still entertaining and adventurous and thanks to its fast pace it manages not to get bored despite the very very classic plot (perhaps a little too classic).

As a matter of fact, this film is quiet the exact opposit: a delicate and raw masterpiece genuinely directed/photographed by a very gifted french director. And the actors are just perfect. One of the best movies by far from 2020. Not for everybody, especially not for pointless and pretentious fake profiles.
