Movie Reviews

Orlando Sentinel - 8/10 by Jay BoyarHill evokes the great westerns of the past—in particular "Shane" and "My Darling Clementine"— but his approach is essentially postmodern. Though Hickok is a hero from another century, his plight is thoroughly contemporary.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Bruce FrettsWild Bill succeeds as a character study of a man whose idiosyncratic code of justice eventually catches up with him. Bridges’ performance is a masterstroke of squinty-eyed bitterness, and he gets colorful support from Ellen Barkin (as kitten with a whip Calamity Jane) and John Hurt (as a dissipated British dandy).
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Michael WilmingtonHowever hamstrung it occasionally becomes, "Wild Bill" is impressive for a thoughtful, daring spirit and a charismatic hero, so unapologetically larger than life.
The Seattle Times - 8/10 by Doug ThomasDirector Hill usually makes rough 'n' ready films about men in action ("48 HRS," "Extreme Prejudice"). His change-of-pace 1993 Western, "Geronimo: An American Legend," caught many off guard. "Wild Bill" continues to exhibit this maturing filmmaker while retaining the boisterous tone of Hill's earlier films.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 7/10 by William ArnoldThis is a valiant but overcomplicated Western that aims to redraw the lines on Western mythology: with heroes as mere humans, and heroics as distortions of the truth.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Joe NeumaierWhile Hill’s hallucinatory script — adapted from a novel and a play — is about the dangers of fostering your own myth, the movie fawns over its character’s legend rather than aiming for his murky reality.
Time Out - 6/10 by Geoff AndrewBoth as a modern Western and as a Hill movie, this is efficient but middling - which still, finally, means that it's worth catching.
Chicago Reader - 5/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumThe film ultimately comes up short when it has to deal with Hickok as something other than a legend; Hill is hampered as usual by his fixation on iconography.
Boston Globe - 5/10 by Jay CarrDespite its authentic feel for things Western, Wild Bill misses the big picture.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Jack MathewsWith “Geronimo,” an honorable effort to right some wrongs done the Apache warrior in past movies, [Hill] seemed stifled by his commitment to history. And in “Wild Bill,” which he wants us to see as a psychological profile of a legend’s final days, he can’t for the life of him let go of the legend.
