I think the movie is utter crap as well. It's not character driven, as the characters go nowhere, and are in the same place they started. It's not plot driven, as nothing really happens. It's not emotionally driven, as every character is too distant to care about. It's also, most damningly, the only movie in which DDL has ever repeated himself. Usually, his characters are made out of whole cloth from scratch... here, he just played Bill the Butcher a second time. Very disappointing role from our greatest living actor.
It's three hours of pretty pictures of Marfa while Greenwood noodles atonely on his keytar.
How dare someone not like this movie? Why, it won awards! It must be good! For I'm incapable of having my own opinions!

The movie wasn't for me. Nothing happened the entire movie.

I enjoyed the scenery and screenplay. DDL played a perfect sociopath alpha male that wanted nothing but money and power. The movie was the story of how it happened. Stepping all over people and thinking nothing of it. I don't see the similarities between the butcher and the oilman. the butcher was a patriot and a gangster, but generally treated folks around him with respect.
oilman, to me, was a far scarier character than the butcher because those types exist (I think I may work for one
)

However, it did work well as a comedy of DDL overacting Bill the Butcher v2.0.

Only made it about a third of the way through. I don't know that I was really in a mindframe to enjoy it at all, so I will have to give it another shot, but this:
was pretty much what I thought.
