Leave your thoughts about In a Valley of Violence.
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonIf there's one simple rule of life to follow, it's to never get between a man and his dog, and that's the theme at the heart of In A Valley of Violence. |
| The Young FolksAndrea ThompsonWhen the dust clears, the movie suggests that everyone gets the ending they deserve, for better and...no, pretty much the worst. Only the worst really. But the road there is compulsively watchable. |
| The PlaylistCharlie SchmidlinWith an enjoyable atmosphere, solid performances from Hawke, Travolta, Farmiga, and one gifted canine, In A Valley of Violence ends up a solid entry in a genre gradually fading from mainstream cinema. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyA by-the-numbers spaghetti Western that’s kind of slow and uneventful—and the world has no shortage of those. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's a doozy of a movie, refreshingly spare and focused on the essentials of the tradition, showcasing West's continued development into a memorable creative force. |

| indieWireDavid EhrlichIt’s frustrating that West often scores with his few modest attempts to stamp his own imprint on the genre, as those flashes of fun hint at what this movie could have been. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThe film communicates a sporadic sense of violation—of pastiche unpredictably giving way to a raw and primordially intimate emotional realm. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterAlong with a ton of laughs, a terrific score, a great cast, and the best movie dog since Up the Creek. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark Dujsik[T]urns the tables on a familiar formula by giving us a hero who is a man, not a myth. |
