Movie Reviews

Salon.com - 9/10 by Charles TaylorOne of those rare literary adaptations that finds its fidelity in freedom, that stands as both a fitting version of its source material and as its own creation.
L.A. Weekly - 9/10 by F. X. FeeneyA superb film by any measure, as deep and harsh as the sin Dillon committed to become great.
New York Post - 9/10 by Lou LumenickSadly the film is so elusive, so distant, that it never seems more than half-alive.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Kimberley JonesThe characters in The Claim suffer under the weight of very big things -- betrayal, abandonment, disease, death -- but they do so quietly, stoically, until, by God, they just can't take it anymore.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertParsimonious with its plot, which is revealed on a need-to-know basis. At first, we're not even sure who is who; dialogue is half-heard, references are unclear, the townspeople know things we discover only gradually.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Jay CarrA sleeper that's well worth hunting down. Its rewards sneak up on you, but then linger long afterwards.
Goatdog's Movies - 9/10 by Michael W. Phillips, Jr.At the center are the impeccable performances of all five leads.
Slate - 8/10 by David EdelsteinGives off the same vapor of impending tragedy—of a fate neither just nor unjust but ineffably, wrenchingly right.
New York Times - 8/10 by Stephen HoldenA languorously muted, occasionally magnificent film.
IFilm - 8/10 by Dave WhiteIt's supposed to be about greed, revenge, forgiveness and love, but it's really just a muttering mess.
