Leave your thoughts about Barbarosa.
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe best western in a long while is Barbarosa, a film that uses one American legend, Willie Nelson, to create another. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelTransplanted Australian director Schepisi confidently threads his own route through Peckinpah territory (a Mexican patriarch demanding honour; a graveyard resurrection), less concerned with Peckinpah's gothic haunting than with teasing dark, absurd ironies from the symbiosis of sworn enemies. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA beautifully filmed, nicely philosophic and rather old-fashioned western with an elegiac tone, well directed by Australian director Fred Schepisi (Breaker Morant), Barbarosa features uniformly strong acting, with Busey and Nelson making a good team. |
| Examiner.comAdam LippeSchepisi doesn't have time to show off; Despite the opportunity for some beautiful widescreen vistas, he doesn't use them as a crutch or a cheap conduit for a scene transition without a proper segue. [Well, other than Busey's unbelievably toothy grin.] |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenAll the old cliches, including the offensive ones, are trotted out in this revisionist yet trite Australian western about a legendary bad guy and his young sidekick. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevySchepisi's Western is an underestimated film, boasting strong performances from Willie Nelson and Gary Busey |
| User ReviewWandaLoved Willie Nelson and Gary Busey in this movie. Plus, Willie rides a gorgeous Appaloosa. |
| User Reviewdavid tGreat movie produced by the greatest motion pictures professor at the University of Miami!!! |
| User ReviewThomas DWhat a great little movie. Nice story and very impressive performances from all. |
| User ReviewBrenda Gfind this one and watch it. It's wonderful! It's sweet and sad and funny and a damn good western. |
