This started out as a perfectly-fine western with a young female protagonist. An adventurous coming of age tale of a young woman with a knack for shooting, who dresses up as a man while searching for her brother. Sounds perfect for some easy entertainment, but somewhere in the second half it lost my interest, and I basically just finished to finish it. All characters felt conveniently lined up symbols, demonstrating the injustices of the time (women, people of color, lgbtq). And there was something too American and too preachy about it.
