Lionsgate Home Entertainment and A24 have officially announced and detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of director John Maclean's western Slow West (2015), starring Michael Fassbender, Caren Pistorius, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ben Mendelsohn, and Jeffrey Thomas. The release will be available for purchase on July 7.

Synopsis: In search of his fugitive girlfriend and her father, 16-year-old Jay (Smit-McPhee) heads west across the 19th-century American wilderness. Along the way, Jay meets Silas (Fassbender), a mysterious traveler who protects him from the savage and lawless elements. But is Silas really watching out for Jay...or is he tied to the band of desperados tracking them? Every step west brings Jay closer to the truth-leading to an epic, bullet-laced showdown in this quintessential Western.

How is there no thread for this yet?! Comes out TOMORROW, and not even a review up on here yet. Nobody talking about it.

This, to me, has been the best movie of 2015. Absolutely stunning cinematography. Wonderful performances by the two main leads. Nice, slow burn, with such a fun and rewarding final act. The last sequence of the movie was something I've never seen done before. Brilliant film, can't wait for mine to come in.
