Deadwood: The Movie "has some compelling new subplots, like the murder of a landowner and the black man who is wrongfully blamed for it," says Rachel Syme. "But just as (David) Milch’s flowery language is less about what it says and more about what it makes you feel, the final chapter of Deadwood is less about what happens and more about the impression it leaves. As the snow gently builds in the last few moments, you realize that Milch has made a timeless origin story, one that shows the roots of the ugliness that is currently seeping through the news every day. Deadwood is a story, not of this century, but also not quite out of the past."
