Leave your thoughts about Far from Men.
| CineVueJohn BleasdaleThe film is heartfelt and sincere in its concern to understand conflict and the plight of good men when they're forced to make impossible choices. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenIn the penetrating character study that is Far From Men, existentialism has never felt so intimate. |
| The PlaylistJessica KiangIt is simply a great, traditional Western: the language and cultural details may be different, but the sparse elegance and moral conundrums are familiar and as resonant as ever. |
| Today's Zaman (Turkey)Emine YildirimThis imbalance in the screenplay keeps Far From Men from its chance at greatness. Nevertheless, its strong stance of taking the side of humanity, even in the face of a civil war in which sides are expected to be taken, deserves respect and applause. |
| Epoch TimesJoe BendelViggo Mortensen finally finds the right vehicle for his simmering tough guy intensity. |
| Rip It UpDavid 'Mad Dog' BradleyViggo Mortensen stars in Far From Men, and he's the main reason to catch it, as he delivers an understated performance of subtle power without ever beating you over the head with it. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Cara NashWriter/director David Oelhoffen has crafted a soulful, slow-burning western with Far From Men, which is as morally rich as one would expect given its source material, but also considerably more compassionate. |
| AV ClubAdam NaymanNobody moseys like Viggo Mortensen. In "The Road," "Appaloosa," "Jauja," and the new French Western Far From Men, the erstwhile Aragorn masters the tricky art of being a figure in the landscape. |
| Screen InternationalDan FainaruIn all fairness, Albert Camus' short story L'hote (The Guest) may be too spare and lean to fill a full-length feature film. But also in all fairness, it captures its issues in a far more concise and eloquent manner then David Oelhoffen's film. |
| Time Out LondonCath ClarkeFar from Men is a character study — a two-hander expertly acted by Mortensen and Kateb (best known for the terrific French cop show Spiral). |
