Review of Damsel

Damsel (I) (2018)
6/10
The best actor?

Warning: Spoilers
Interesting, quirky "alternative" Western with enough of a plot and storyline to keep you alert and wondering whether it's a comedy or not. For me, the best actor in this movie was the protagonist's horse (NOT the miniature horse, the regular horse). At one point, he's having a heated conversation with another character, who fires a gun into the air. Everyone else in the scene is rather unfazed by this, and the heated discussion continues. At the sound of the gun being fired, the protagonist's horse, facing them in the background, slowly, surely, and deliberately, starts backing away from the scene, one step at a time, and eventually tries to hide himself behind a tree in the background, although standing up. It's something you kind of have to catch and pay attention to, but my wife and I were ROLLING with laughter. It's honestly one of the funniest things I've ever seen any animal do in any movie, ever. Really, that horse should have gotten some kind of award for doing that. To be honest, that's the scene from this movie that my wife and I still talk and laugh about today.
