What viewers say
Chris Sawin · 8/10
What makes not only *Wild Horse Nine* great but Martin McDonagh's work in general is that his films typically have a palpable two-person dynamic loaded with absurd dialogue and outrageous conversations, but they also flip-flop between being ridiculously mean and overwhelmingly somber. McDonagh knows how to make you laugh out loud one moment and sob uncontrollably the next, and it never fails to be pure cinema https://bit.ly/Wild9
