The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Rating 8:

Despite its flaws - the 2 1/2-hour length, and the maddeningly redundant voice-over-the film is worth seeing. The performances are excellent and the film's exploration of celebrity in America is interesting. But most impressive is the cinematography by Roger Deakins (frequently of Coen Brothers' movies.) Also, music by Nick Cave, who makes a brief appearance.
