Twitter Capsule: At times a laudably eccentric work of imagination I just don't respond to. At times a revel in affectation I flat dislike.

VOR: ④  Ambitiously idiosyncratic approach to the Western. Blends styles, milieus, tones, and cultural signifiers in distinctive ways, even when they look to me like opportunistic appropriations.
