Jenna and I go NUTS for some Westerns. very thankful for her to pick Kelly Reichardt's excellent ”Meek's Cutoff” (2010), which was tremendous and one of the best shot modern things that I've seen in ages. And to give me an excuse to watch ”The Hanging Tree” (1959) by the absolute boy Delmer Daves, which has a serious argument for being his best movie. You can find Jenna here, which you should, because she's one of my favorite creators! :
