Leave your thoughts about Surrounded.
| VarietyJoe LeydonAn exceptionally well-crafted Western that spins a gripping, racially charged tale of suspicion, deception and survival in post-Civil War New Mexico. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperWith Surrounded, Mandler solidifies his standing as a talented and versatile filmmaker, with Letitia Wright and Jamie Bell burning up the screen as two wounded and fiercely independent adversaries who both realize they’re in this thing together, and the outcome is most likely going to be a bloody mess. |
| ColliderChase HutchinsonThere are layers of complexity in both Wright’s performance and that of the late Williams which elevate the experience, making for a sturdy enough riff on the Western that still could have been so much more. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLike most westerns, Surrounded is about people trying to reinvent themselves on the frontier. But this is also one of those westerns with a cynical streak, where the hostility the characters are trying to escape hounds them mercilessly. |
| The PlaylistBrian FarvourIt’s not a bad movie by any means, but in its attempts to plant a seed audiences may remember in years to come, it’s a misfire. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyWright’s lean, long face is sometimes all hard angles, and she enacts the largely stoic mien of her character with weight. If Surrounded had carried through its overdetermined premise more assuredly, she’d have made a compelling hero/heroine here. |
| RogerEbert.comPeyton RobinsonThe hazy horizons and warmth of the Wild West lend to stunning cinematography, but the bones of the visuals are not enough to support the film. Mandler’s direction is effective for the genre, but there’s a fatiguing number of posed cowboy-against-the-horizon shots that begin to feel kitschy on account of their frequency. |
