A week with Junior Bonner, a rodeo pro on the wrong side of 40, broke, bruised, and headed into Prescott, his home town, for the annual 4th of July Frontier Days. His dad, Ace, is a dissolute dreamer fixed on finding gold in Australia; his mom is resigned to Ace's roving; his brother Curly is tearing up the countryside to make a million in real estate. Junior just wants to stay on a bucking Brahma for eight seconds, hang out with Ace, find a way to spend time with a beautiful woman whose eyes catch his, and earn enough to get to next week's rodeo. As the old West and its code give way to progress, Junior is lonesome, laconic, and on the road - just where he wants to be.
Leave your thoughts about Junior Bonner.
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonOne of Peckinpah's loveliest films, simmering with family animosity but also brimming with terrific moments of graceless quiet. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawThere's something essential about boys playing men in front of the women they love. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSam Peckinpah presents a sharp look at the "new west" in contrast with the fading frontier scene. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyJunior Bonner, based on an excellent original screenplay by Jeb Rosebrook, is Peckinpah in the benignly comic mood that, I suspect, is much more the natural fashion of this fine director than is the gross, intellectualized mayhem. |
| VarietyStaffSam Peckinpah's reputation for violence is herein exorcised in the rodeo and brawl sequences. Audiences which consider such rough-and-tumble as innocuous, vicarious ventilation will get their fill, though others may perceive a bit more. |
| Under the RadarStephen DanayIt's always clear though, that Peckinpah has an affinity for these people and their way of life, that he's celebrating it alongside them. |
| Village VoiceMichael Atkinson[Steve] McQueen's reticent personality and hypnotic physical grace are in perfect service, and the air of authenticity is stinging. |
| Slant MagazineMichael PattisonThe historical moment is precious, as its only constant is flux. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie simply never comes together and works as a whole. The material is terribly thin. |
| AV ClubKeith PhippsJunior Bonner may be the least Peckinpah-like in content, but it's very much like his other work in spirit. |
