Movie Reviews: Slow West, Minions, She’s Funny That Way

Silas Selleck (Michael Fassbender) is an outlaw killer who is rarely without a cigar in Slow West (15A), which may be writer- director John Maclean’s way of telling us that his debut feature is part-homage to the neo-realist Western pioneered by the cheroot-chewing Clint Eastwood. 

Travelling from Scotland in pursuit of his true love Rose (Caren Pistorious), 16-year-old Jay Cavendish (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is an innocent doomed for an early death until Selleck takes him under his wing.
