“The Harder They Fall” First Reactions

The Harder They Fall is excellent, a brilliantly slick reinvention of the western mythology from Jeymes Samuel – and the best modern western in an age. Such a great cast, incredibly fun to watch from start to finish and sure to be a new favourite. What a way to start #LFF2021 pic.twitter.com/2kzkTMzV77

Jeymes Samuel opens the #LFF with his debut film The Harder They Fall. His gunslinging-western boasts an all-star cast, dynamic camerawork, a killer soundtrack & it's a bloody fun watch. The ensemble is solid but standouts are Elba, King & Cyler.

The Harder They Fall is a wild, wild western. @Jeymes's rootin', shootin' bonanza is a rapid-fire burst of style and story. Jonathan Majors' Nat Love is beautifully captivating, Regina King deviously thrilling – easily one of the best modern westerns. What an #LFF opening. pic.twitter.com/q1TIAWbvLF

Embargoes are up, so I’m kicking off my #LFF2021 thread: Westerns are back!

Jaymes Samuel was given free reign for The Harder They Fall; the result is an intoxicating revenge movie thriving in stylistic flair and love for a genre that rarely centers black voices, and a must-see pic.twitter.com/gA9zAFAys0

"The Harder They Fall" is the biggest, poppiest, and most star-studded Black Western ever made. Jeymes Samuel's debut stays connected to the soil where their legends were born – read our review: https://t.co/ywOVZwfdId pic.twitter.com/5q5pL3DpNU

The Harder They Fall review – Idris Elba rides into trouble in garishly violent western – Jeymes Samuel’s gonzo revenge western, with a cast including Elba, Regina King, and Zazie Beetz is enjoyable, if face-splatteringly brutal https://t.co/7RE95QPoLf pic.twitter.com/jXwu7F7Zfz

The main thing I took away from THE HARDER THEY FALL, other than the performances from the incredible cast, is how the music makes for my favourite film soundtrack of the year so far #LFF pic.twitter.com/zzyW4GxeNV
