Movie Reviews

Sight and Sound - 9/10 by Peter MatthewsWhile the movie intermittently revs up for some showy combat scenes, its real métier is a texture of fine-grained observation that brings history to life on the molecular level.
Matinee Magazine - 9/10 by Chuck RudolphAmbitions only get you so far, and then it's a matter of dynamics--dynamics of story, character, plot, which failed Lee in The Ice Storm and fail him again here.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Stephen HunterIn its quiet way, Ride With the Devil is terrific.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 8/10 by David N. ButterworthFine performances -- including one from Jewel -- highlight this Ang Lee western.
Internet Reviews - 8/10 by Steve RhodesRide With the Devil moves with its own methodical rhythms.
culturevulture.net - 8/10 by Gary MairsAng Lee's Ride With the Devil is a film of monumental ambition.
San Francisco Examiner - 8/10 by Wesley MorrisNever has this war been filmed with such ragged glory.
Salon.com - 8/10 by Andrew O'HehirAng Lee's dark and sober fable might be the most interesting and least dogmatic view of the Civil War to wend its way into the multiplexes.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliFrom a technical perspective, Ride With the Devil is nearly perfect.
Globe and Mail - 8/10 by Rick GroenThe intriguing (if not always successful) result is an oddly contemplative picture about a horribly bellicose time.
