Watchlist:
A group of settlers traveling through the Oregon High Desert in 1845 find themselves stranded in harsh conditions.
Why you might like this:
Kelly Reichardt's minimalist western, with its measured pacing and focus on the inner experiences of its female characters, has a similar artistic sensibility to Lelio's films, exploring themes of survival, uncertainty, and the search for meaning in harsh environments.
