The western is having a moment again in 2024, as a couple of new examples of the genre premiered in 2024, including Viggo Mortensen's The Dead Don't Hurt. Picked as one of WTW's summer indie movies to watch, you can now do just that as the movie is now playing. But where and how can you watch The Dead Don't Hurt?
Once pretty much the equivalent to superhero movies in Hollywood, the western is more of a rarity these days. Still, there have been some standout westerns released in recent years, both classic (True Grit, The Harder They Fall, Django Unchained) and neo-westerns (Hell or High Water, Wind River). Reviews point to The Dead Don't Hurt being a strong entry in the former category.
