Are you sure, you want to add Meek's Cutoff
to your wish list?
Storyline:
The year is 1845, the earliest days of the Oregon Trail, and a wagon team of three families has hired the mountain man Stephen Meek to guide them over the Cascade Mountains. Claiming to know a short cut, Meek leads the group on an unmarked path across the high plain desert, only to become lost in the dry rock and sage. Over the coming days, the emigrants must face the scourges of hunger, thirst and their own lack of faith in each other's instincts for survival. When a Native American wanderer crosses their path, the emigrants are torn between their trust in a guide who has proven himself unreliable and a man who has always been seen as the natural enemy.

If you like westerns then perhaps you may not nap like I did. I saw this with friends at a film festival and out of 5 people, none of us liked it.
The manner in which the film was shot was different than commonly used techniques today. The scenery was desolate adding to the theme of despair the characters face as they cross the west. The movie meanders and gets trapped in this morase of continuing uncertainity. Which is how it ends. We never know if these people find their way, we are left to create our own ending.
While not as horrible as Ishtar. I recent being tormented for nearly two hours without any resolution.

It's been a long time since I've a observational divide between critics and fans. Perhaps critics have too much access to words and images or have an over-engaged movie DNA that ends up in some sort of intellectual growth that make fans babble and scratch. Fans, like myself, need to feel resolution and somewhere in the movie leave the zone of uncomfortableness -- vice hanging around a unique cinematic portrayal, loyalty to drag-along plots and sucking in one bleak reality after another (a continuum). Things to appreciate: the Indian and his spirituality, the women heroine, the intended theme of being lost, the foreboding inverted-beauty of the landscape, the proximity to real life as it realty was, and the pounding uncertainty of pioneers. The slowness of the movie tied to the bleak landscape, however, is a formula for "movie watching anxiety. Did not appreciate the ending: it sucked!!!

It was terrible. The director left you completely hanging at the end. Save your money and stay home.
