Movie Reviews

Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonThere's no question that this is a director with a God-given talent.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrThe pace falters near the end, but overall this is a brilliantly calculated audience pleaser.
Goatdog's Movies - 8/10 by Michael W. Phillips, Jr.We can see a little of ourselves in Lou Jean and Clovis, and we wish them the best.
Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by David Thomasa fine example of the fugitives-on-the-run genre, holding its own alongside Thelma and Louise, Bandits, The Defiant Ones, and to a lesser extent Badlands and Bonnie and Clyde
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonFeatures real attention to the sort of character dynamics that would serve subsequent [Spielberg] titles.
Time Out - 8/10 by Chris PetitA beautifully put together, assured film.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffUnfortunately, the film degenerates in final reels to heavy-handed social polemic and sound-and-fury shootout.
The Spectator - 8/10 by Duncan FallowellA tragi-comedy in which our modern beasts of burden ultimately exact revenge with horrific panache.
CinePassion - 7/10 by Fernando F. CroceSteven Spielberg in Malickland, with dolly and zoom and a wagonload of familial issues
The New York Times - 7/10 by Nora SayreThe movie has a casual craziness that seems especially native.
