| La Vanguardia (Spain)Jordi Batlle CaminalA strange and peculiar western where all the elements of a western are used to make something new. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsWriter-director John Maclean insists at every opportunity that the American west teemed with brutality and that every positive myth about the region was built on a lie, yet he doesn't deliver this familiar revisionist history with much force. |
| Movie MezzanineDan SchindelSlow West dances between cheekiness, tragedy and thrills with breathtaking deftness. |
| Film Journal InternationalChris Barsanti[Slow West has] a brisk momentum and a snap to its absurdist gags that mark Maclean as a filmmaker with unusual promise. |
| The Young FolksJon EspinoFirst time writer/director John Maclean creates Slow West as a sort of unofficial love child of Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino. |
| Madison MovieRob ThomasWriter-director John Maclean salts his tale with quick violence, memorable characters and a beautiful fatalism that lingers after its rather brief 84-minute running time. |
| Willamette WeekAlex FalconeIt makes a dusty genre feel distinctly modern. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a well-crafted debut from an exceedingly promising filmmaker. |
| Austin ChronicleWilliam GossA folksy fable defined equally by its whimsy and wistfulness. |
| ScreenAnarchyJason GorberSometimes the most old-fashioned way feels the freshest....It's as comfortable as a warm blanket by the fire, a sense that you're in good hands hearing a good yarn being told. |
