Spect.Audiences are captivated by 'The Dead Don't Hurt,' praising its refreshing feminist perspective in a traditionally male-dominated Western genre. Vicky Krieps shines as the resilient Vivienne, navigating the harsh realities of the 1860s American West with grace and determination. Viggo Mortensen's dual role as director and actor brings a nuanced portrayal of characters and a beautifully crafted storyline. However, some viewers found the film's pace slow, and its narrative structure, focusing on personal rather than grand historical themes, might not resonate with everyone.
👍 Vicky Krieps delivers a standout performance.
👎 Some may find the film slow-paced.

Synopsis
In the 1860s, fiercely independent French-Canadian Vivienne Le Coudy embarks on a journey with Danish immigrant Holger Olsen, attempting to forge a life together in the dusty town of Elk Flats, Nevada. When Holger decides to go fight for the Union in the burgeoning Civil War, Vivienne must fend for herself, which isn't easy in a town controlled by a corrupt mayor.

Western sans surprise Long Décevant
Globalement decue par ce film Film esthetique (jolis paysages) mais un peu plat et lent
🎬 Un magnifique film de Viggo Mortensen, très beau et tout en lenteur. Une véritable fresque qui magnifie la vision du western, une denrée rare de nos jours. Vicky Krieps et Viggo Mortensen nous révèlent un jeu de comédiens de très haute qualité. Le film sait marier la petite histoire et la grande histoire sur l'autel de la naissance des États-Unis. Gros plans sur les visages, peu de dialogues, de beaux paysages, la sensation de chaleur du désert, les cailloux et la poussière. La musique est l'œuvre de Viggo Mortensen en personne. Un film bien réalisé avec beaucoup de charme. 🎬 🎬 🎬
