Plot

Revelation

Liz lives with her husband Eli and two children in the old west, one of whom is a boy from her husband's prior marriage, and the other is a young girl. Liz is a midwife who can hear but communicates through sign language. A new minister comes to their church, and the moment that Liz hears his voice, she seems to recognize him and is terrified. The same day Liz is forced to choose between a delivering a baby safely or saving its mother, and the father Nathan blames and threatens Liz.

After Eli's sheep are killed, he seeks out Nathan, who has disappeared. Liz then sneaks off at night to kill the minister, and finds her daughter's doll in the minister's bed. The minister disembowels Eli, and leaves him to die. Eli tells his son Matthew to take the family up into the mountains to Eli's father, before the boy shoots him. Liz and the children flee the farm.

Exodus

A young girl named Joanna walking through the desert is picked up by a Chinese family. In the mining town of Bismuth, she's sold to a brothel owned by Frank. Joanna is first protected by Sally until she is hanged for shooting a violent customer, and then Elizabeth. After Elizabeth bites the tongue of an abusive customer, her tongue is cut off in punishment. Joanna teaches Elizabeth sign language from a book the doctor gave her. Elizabeth plans to sneak out of Bismuth to find a new life, and arranges through a marriage broker to marry Eli.

The minister comes to the brothel and becomes violent with Joanna. Elizabeth saves Joanna and is killed by the minister. Joanna slashes his throat and runs away, cutting off her own tongue and taking Elizabeth's place with Eli.

Genesis

In the desert, two badly wounded men, Samuel and Wolf, are the last men standing in a dispute over gold that has left several other men dead. They depart on a single horse. Young Joanna lives with her mother, Anna, and father, who is the minister. Samuel and Wolf collapse at the farm and Joanna secretly cares for them. Anna confronts the minister when she realizes he lusts after their daughter, and he beats and humiliates her by placing a scold's bridle on her head, so that she commits suicide in full view of the church congregation. The next day her father takes Joanna to church and starts to perform a wedding ceremony between himself and his daughter. Samuel tries to rescue her and the minister kills him. Her father whips Joanna and rapes her. In the morning she runs off.

Retribution

Matthew is shot by the minister as he follows Liz to her father-in-law's place in the mountains. He kills her father-in-law and tells Liz he will beat and rape her daughter before Liz finally kills him instead. Some time later, after Liz has turned Eli's place into a sawmill, Nathan arrives to arrest her. The minister had sent him to Bismuth where he became a deputy and then sheriff. Finding a 'Wanted Poster' of Elizabeth Brundy, the woman without a tongue who killed Frank before she saved Liz/Joanna, Nathan has come to arrest her. As Nathan is escorting her onto a ferry, with a last look at her daughter playing on the shore, Liz throws herself in the lake and drowns.

Her daughter Sam, now a grown woman with a child of her own, remembers her well.

Production

Casting

On February 5, 2015, Guy Pearce and Mia Wasikowska were the first to be announced as part of the cast of the film.[9] Later, Robert Pattinson came on board to portray an outlaw along with Carice van Houten.[10][11]

In May 2015, Koolhoven confirmed that Jack Roth has joined the cast of the film.[12] In June 2015, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Dakota Fanning and Kit Harington had replaced Wasikowska and Pattinson in the film, respectively.[13] In 2017 Pattinson said he regretted [14] not doing Brimstone and called it "his own stupid fault".[15]

Filming

Principal photography began from June 15, 2015 and took take place in Hungary, Spain, Austria and Germany.[16]

Release

Brimstones first commercial release was in The Netherlands on 12 January 2017, becoming Martin Koolhoven's fifth consecutive hit film.[17] It was also released on March 10, 2017 in selected theaters and video on demand in the United States.Brimstone was sold to more than 80 countries in the world, making it the best sold Dutch movie ever.[18]

Festival screenings

Brimstone was shown in competition at the Venice Film Festival where it was met by rousing applause,[19] yet stirred great controversy amongst the press.

After Venice, the film had its North American premiere as a Special Presentation at the Toronto International Film Festival where it received positive reviews.[20] After that it went to festivals around the world, like London, Jakarta, Shanghai, etc. On the Sitges Film Festival Brimstone had very good press and created a huge buzz, especially on social media[21]

Critical reception

The film received positive reviews in The Netherlands from critics and opened strongly.[22][6]

The readers of True West Magazine chose the movie as Best Foreign Western Movie.[23]

Koolhoven won the Gouden Pen (Golden Pen) for the screenplay[24] and the Gouden Film (Golden Film) for the film.[25]

29 September 2017 Brimstone won six Golden Calves (often called "The Dutch Oscars") at the Netherlands Film Festival, breaking the old record of four.[26]

In contrast to the positive reception in the Netherlands,[27][28] American reviews for the film were mixed. On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, though no Critics Consensus has yet been reached, the film has a rating of 39% based on 46 reviews and the average rating is 4.9/10.[29] On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 from mainstream critics, the film has a score of 44 based on 16 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[30]

While The Independent[8] wrote "Brimstone is raw and very powerful filmmaking, a movie that can't help but get under your skin," Variety wrote it was "highfalutin exploitation," blaming it on the Netherlands, writing "It is, after all, a country that ever since the 1960s, especially in Amsterdam, has profferred a more liberal view than almost any other place of what might euphemistically be termed 'youthful sexuality."[7]

The Political Film Society has nominated Brimstone as best film on human rights of 2017.

The movie was released in the United Kingdom 29 September 2017 and, like in other European countries, was very well received [31] Empire Magazine gave it four stars and called it "white-knuckle tense",[32] The Hollywood News called it "one of the most visceral and intense western thrillers of all time" [33] and Peter Bradshaw wrote in The Guardian: "This epically long, lurid, violent western from Dutch film-maker Martin Koolhoven has a kind of Tarantino-ish prolixity and narrative ingenuity. Despite its very indulgent length, it never bores." [34]
