Rating: 4/5 -- Mortensen's post-Lord of the Rings choices have been an idiosyncratic mix: His my-way-or-the-highway approach doesn't always pay off, but it does here with engrossing results. Full Review

In the penetrating character study that is FAR FROM MEN, existentialism has never felt so intimate.

There’s something haunted about this wildly beautiful place with its thirsty ground and sparse vegetation...

Expertly assembled to draw out the suspense of danger lurking around each vacant hill... the movie creates a world of paradoxical sentiments: immediate decision-making pitted against the immovable forces of ideology and moral codes. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- As Westerns go, it is certainly well outside the mainstream, but this small film will linger in the mind longer than most shoot-out standards. Full Review

Rating: B+ -- It's a somber-and hopeful-elegy to a time of conflict and one that could draw parallels to many wars, including the one currently raging on between Israel and Palestine. Full Review

There is a lot of stark natural beauty, captured very well by cinematographer Guillame Deffontaines.
