Where to watch The Settlers
Cinematically classy
Spiritually sickening but cinematically classy Western, sumptuously capturing the 1901 Chile-Argentina landscape while unapologetically outlining the inhumane horrors dispensed by its so-called “settlers”. Think Jennifer Kent’s The Nightingale by way of Slow West with its confronting subject matter, odd dollops of quirks, and one unforgettable I-did-not-see-that-coming moment.
