Leave your thoughts about Little Big Man.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertArthur Penn's Little Big Man is an endlessly entertaining attempt to spin an epic in the form of a yarn. |
| PopMattersElbert VenturaThis outraged reconfiguration of an all-American genre may be set in the Wild West, but it's also very much a bulletin of its time. |
| TimeS. K.It also accomplishes that rarest achievement, the breathing of life into an ossified art form. The '70s has its first great epic. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzPenn seems to have little feel for the Western genre, but despite that the amazing thing is that this mock epic Western came out as well as it did. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA picaresque masterpiece about an inimitable American anti-hero whose wild adventures are delivered into our hearts and minds with the robust vitalities of comedy. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyArthur Penn offers a new take of the culture clash between the White men and Native Americans in this revisionist. satirical, tone-shifting Western starring Dustin Hoffman and Faye Dunaway. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe dual point of view is used effectively, though it's less valid as social criticism (where Penn's observations tend toward facile revisionism) than as an index of the uncertainty that characterizes most of Penn's heroes. |
| EmpireKim NewmanEpisodic western with a great performance from Hoffman. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe film tries to cover too much ground, even though Calder Willingham's script eliminates or telescopes events and characters from the Berger novel. |
| User ReviewFaris ALittle Big Man is the Forrest Gump of Westerns. Jack Crab's Life Story is an epic satire that spins itself into one bizarre big adventure. |
