When it comes to independent cinema, A24 has made quite a name for itself. The sheer quality of the movies that come from the company is impressive in itself. But then you throw in the diversity of their portfolio: comedies, horror, period pieces, coming of age films. They have established themselves as the premiere indie movie distributor.
That leads to the oddly titled “First Cow” from writer-director Kelly Reichardt. Her latest looks to be a Pacific Northwest frontier drama where a cook, a Chinese immigrant, and a prized milk cow join together for a secret (and hopefully lucrative) business venture. Sounds as quirky as the title, right? The first trailer looks intriguing and Reichardt’s signature minimalism and quietude is all over it.
“First Cow” is slated for a March 6th release (limited I’m sure). Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Looks better than another marvel universe flick. Yes, I plan on seeing it but probably not until it goes to DVD.
Hmm. The only Reichardt movie I’ve enjoyed is Night Moves. The rest just haven’t worked for me. I’ll have think about this one for a bit.
I understand. She’s pretty hit-or-miss with me. This looks interesting but who knows?
I’ll totally see this. I love Kelly Reichardt as the only film of hers I haven’t seen is Night Moves which I hope to do in the coming months once I get re-started on writing my Auteurs piece on her.
I’m curious to see and read more about it. The big question is how wide of a release will it get?
Ah, that is the big question.

Well I’d like to see this, I hope it gets over here.
I’m afraid seeing this one may be tough EVERYWHERE. Hope I’m wrong though.
Since we’re on the subject of A24, unbelievable that it collectively only got one Oscar nomination, no?
It surprised me too although I have to admit only one of their 2019 movies actually made my top 20. Neon is the one to watch.
