Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonIt's the cattlemen vs homesteaders plot, present in all its particulars, but refracted through the star personae of Cooper and Brennan.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzAn offbeat melodramatic Western with added comedy that makes the villain a more arresting subject than the hero.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyGary Cooper gives a commanding performance in William Wyler's popular 1940 Western, which features Walter Brennan in an Oscar-winning turn
The New Yorker - 7/10 by Pauline KaelSupplied with a particularly meaty role, of which he takes fullest advantage, Brennan turns in a socko job that does much to hold together a not too impressive script.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Bosley CrowtherIf some one could just have decided who should carry the ball, instead of letting it pass from one to the other, The Westerner might have been a bang-up, dandy film. And that, we are sorry to say, it isn't. The trouble, as indicated, is that the picture has no core.
User Review - 10/10 by Jon JQuintessential Western movie and beautiful cinematography. Gary Cooper and a younger Walter Brennan than I've ever seen (still playing a codger). So much fun.
User Review - 10/10 by Kevin RClassic westerner with great acting based on a true story, with many funny scenes too. One of the best western films I've ever seen and now one of my faves. Essential viewing if you like westerns.
User Review - 10/10 by Ashley Hun clásico del western. lo mejor, walter brennan haciendo del juez roy bean. Y los diálogos entre él y Gary Cooper son antológicos. Y todos amamos a Lily Langtry, aunque no la conozcamos... nos sentimos fascinados por ella!!
User Review - 10/10 by Jo YThe art film of the "classic western" genre.
User Review - 10/10 by Duane BThis is one of my favorites. Gary Cooper and Walter Brennan are excellent together and Walter Brennan's as Judge Roy Bean is outstanding.
