Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyArguably Van Sant's weakest film, this adaptation of Tom Robbins's feminist anarchic manifesto is poorly conceived, directed, and acted.
Chicago Tribune - 6/10 by Michael WilmingtonUnfortunately, for a number of reasons, the movie does not work, though it's difficult to sort out the “what is” from the “what was” and “what might have been.”
San Francisco Chronicle - 5/10 by Edward GuthmannWhile the results are both cheerful and occasionally inventive, they can't hold a candle to his previous features; too many jokey asides and cameos - not to mention an overdose of plot - keep getting in the way.
Variety - 4/10 by Deborah YoungPic stays on the surface, without attempting any exploration of painful depths. Result is at best amusing; at worst, uninvolving, often confusing, and sometimes a little boring.
The New York Times - 3/10 by Janet MaslinOne of the many problems with Gus Van Sant's tortured, worked-over Even Cowgirls Get the Blues is that Sissy Hankshaw talks like a novel, and a dated one at that.
Los Angeles Times - 3/10 by Kenneth TuranVan Sant's film is cold and the gallery of eccentrics merely come across as vulgar caricatures.
Chicago Reader - 2/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumGus Van Sant adapts Tom Robbins's comic, countercultural novel of the 70s... and while the results are both cheerful and occasionally inventive, they can't hold a candle to his previous features.
Hartford Courant - 2/10 by Malcolm JohnsonThose interested in looking back in sorrow or amusement had better saddle up fast, because Cowgirls will be hitching out of town fast.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 2/10 by Ken HankeNot as bad as claimed, but not very good either.
Independent on Sunday - 2/10 by Quentin CurtisDespite a few ecstatically beautiful sequences, it continues the wayward pretentious streak of Van Sant's last film, My Own Private Idaho, but not its affecting characters.
