| Consequence of SoundJustin GerberThere isn't even anything wrong with this being a bad movie; it's just too bad that it is. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeUnfortunately, [Robert Duvall's] attempt to create a multigenerational Lone Star-like mystery doesn't gel as John Sayles's film did, leaving so many dramatic moments unresolved that one wonders how many scenes must have been left on the cutting-room floor. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's a mess, a complete and utter mess, but shockingly, the movie is rarely dull, embracing just enough of Duvall's dedication to realism to make it bearable. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThe best moments showcase Duvall and Franco, formidable stars representing different cultural eras, testing the waters of a father-son relationship bruised by outmoded views of love and sin. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireWhile the mix doesn’t always cohere, the film boasts moments and scenes that rank with Duvall’s best work. |
| We Got This CoveredAlexander LoweWhile far from perfect, Wild Horses has strong enough performances from its leads to make it an enjoyable and worthwhile modern western. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonTonally dissonant and narratively disjointed, Wild Horses plays like a patchwork quilt of scenes excerpted from a much longer movie, or maybe even a miniseries. |
| IndiewireEric KohnWhereas "The Apostle" was a passionate effort for Duvall that he spent years pulling together, Wild Horses feels more like a vanity project that eschews polished storytelling for half-baked conceits. |
| Village VoiceDan GvozdenDespite the hogtied narrative momentum, Duvall has crafted a lifelike portrait of rural Texas life. |
| The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyWhat a shambles. Robert Duvall, eminent character actor of the Hackman-Caan generation of difficult big-screen guys, returns to the director’s chair with Wild Horses, a dawdling and sometimes damn near unintelligible ensemble piece set in a Texas border town. |
