Leave your thoughts about September Dawn.
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookThere was another 9/11 horror. But it happened 150 years ago. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThe director's overreaching attempts at social commentary with hackneyed devices weaken the veracity of the source material and leave the film open to interpretation as propaganda. |
| New York TimesMatt Zoller SeitzThe maudlin, grotesque western September Dawn, about the massacre on Sept. 11, 1857, of about 120 settlers by Mormons (and their Paiute Indian mercenaries), apes "Schindler’s List" in hopes of creating a Christian Holocaust picture. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteThe cruel simplicity of the atrocity is made needlessly chaotic by artless camerawork that swishes rapidly back and forth across the action, to the accompaniment of a syrupy soundtrack. |
| MaximPete HammondOften gripping and fascinating, it's bound to create waves of controversy. |
| FilmStew.comLisa JohnsonFor all its cinematic weaknesses, I left the theatre weeping. "Now you know how I feel when I see holocaust films," my Jewish husband told me gently as he wiped away my tears. |
| AV ClubSteven HydenWith its complete lack of empathy for early Mormons and simplistic rendering of historical figures, September Dawn is that rare movie that actually deserves whatever condemnation might come from religious groups. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachA ham-fisted cautionary tale of religious fanaticism that would have been hooted out of even 19th-century theaters as melodrama of the most lurid kind. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian OrndorfCain has turned the Mormons into baby-eatin' Nazis to suit his argument, parading around these black-clad, chin-bearded, testicle-slicing gunslingers without any thoughtful consideration. |
| Arizona RepublicRichard NilsenThe real problem is that September Dawn isn't a very good movie. It moves too much like a public-school history pageant and gives us mono-dimensional characters who speak dialogue that fairly reeks of printer's ink. |
