Movie Reviews

Daily Telegraph (UK) - 10/10 by Robbie CollinIts status as a true wonder-work of American cinema is now surely beyond doubt.
Empire - 10/10 by Ian FreerIn depicting the Johnson County War of 1892 (immigrants versus cattle barons), Michael Cimino delivers soaring ambition and scale, but always syringed with a deep sense of regret.
The Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawIt is a demanding film, without a doubt – but a passionate one.
The Ooh Tray - 10/10 by Ed WhitfieldThe first critics to lay eyes on it mistook the emphasis on the personal and painterly for self-indulgence - static naval gazing. This confuses incident with the incidental.
Financial Times - 10/10 by Nigel AndrewsCimino endows the visuals with a Zola-esque texture and realism. But the characterisation and dramatic reach go beyond even that.
The A.V. Club - 10/10 by Nathan RabinIt's a film of rare beauty and scope, a feast for the eyes and a harrowing, unflinching meditation on the cruelty of capitalism. It rivals William Friedkin's Sorceror in its bone-deep cynicism and eviscerating take on the free market's coal-black heart of darkness.
Total Film - 10/10 by Philip KempA grandiose Western based on the Johnson County War of 1892, when cattle barons brought in mercenaries to massacre immigrant settlers, it suffers badly from narrative incoherence. But there’s a grand romantic sweep to the action (enacted by a solid cast including Kris Kristofferson, Christopher Walken and Isabelle Huppert), the set-pieces are majestic and its disenchanted view of the American frontier myth still rings ominously true.
New Times - 10/10 by Luke Y. ThompsonToo long and pretentious to properly work -- shave off a good half-hour and you might have something.
Time Out - 10/10 by Tom HuddlestonA grippingly violent parable, a touching, tragic romance and – thanks to legendary cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond and an unprecedented attention to historical detail – quite simply one of the most beautiful, immersive films ever made.
Little White Lies - 10/10 by Glenn Heath Jr.Emotionally stings like few other westerns.
