Meek's Cutoff

Meek’s Cutoff is an “inspired by true events” western that tells the story of a group of settlers who get lost in 1845. It’s one of the most surprising and subversive westerns you’ll come across, presenting a female perspective that is missing from like 95% of stories in this genre. We get into all the things that impressed us about this movie, including the gorgeous cinematography, the interesting parallels to the real-world story, the allusions to the Bush administration, and what the Academy aspect ratio has to do with, of all things, bonnets.
