Don't see the trailer. Intentionally didn't put that in because the movie works as a small surprise.
Here is a section of a review:
The great news about Slow West is that its eighty-four minutes long. I saw the title and braced myself for a three-hour prairie trek, with balls of tumbleweed in supporting roles. Instead, we have a lean fable, set in 1870, about a sixteen-year-old Scottish lad named Jay (Kodi Smit-McPhee), who travels to America in search of Rose (Caren Pistorius), his one true love. Jays belongings include a teapot and a book entitled Ho! For the West!!, and his survival skills amount to precisely nil. He even flunks the cracking of an egg. Out of a pine forest comes a lone rider, Silas (Michael Fassbender), who offers to chaperone him through the wilderness to Colorado, where Rose is said to bloom. Cost: a hundred bucks.
