The Longest Thirst is a bloody, brutal Western with punk sensibilities. Roxie Voorhies takes aim at the racist, colonialist history of the American West and the white savior complex and does not miss. The resulting take is fast-paced and haunting, like an extended nightmare warning against trying to be the hero of someone else’s story.
