Seraphim Falls

OK well, I'll answer my own question, and it seems like I'm not the first one to have had it: This review gives some detail:
>It doesn't cost much to call a Western "mythic," but Seraphim Falls manages to earn that distinction quite nicely. Not because of anything within itself, but because of its relationship to an entire genre: it is nothing so much as a tour of the Western. There are elements of The Searchers in its imagery, of The Outlaw Josey Wales and Once Upon a Time in the West in its plot, and grace notes from many more films than I have space to list. Carver's chase of Gideon takes the two men from Montana to Nevada, from winter to summer, in what appears to be only a few days; this is because the Western covers all of those times and places, and this is a synthesis of all Westerns. It sacrifices plausibility for emotional truth. The truth, that is to say, of a myth.

This was a good movie, reminded me of The Revenant, but maybe because I watched it shortly after
