Strange Way of Life

“It’s a kick to see Almodóvar’s gay gaze applied to a Western, though at only 31 minutes, the film leaves us wanting quite a lot more.” —Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair

“It’s a provocative movie that brings out the best in both of its leads, and feels like the filmmaker is having fun playing around with these genre tropes.” —David Fear, Rolling Stone
