“This is a 160-minute art Western, and if you're up for such a beast it is a glory to behold. It's gorgeous, but rarely for the sake of mere gorgeousness, and languorous, but never listless.” (Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News)
“The extraordinary expressive performers, male and female; the haunting interior and exterior conflicts; the painstaking authenticity of the period detail; and the subtly modulated mood shifts all combine to make a modern masterpiece of an old legend.” (Andrew Sarris, New York Observer)
“Dominik paints a richly detailed mosaic on locations in Calgary and Winnipeg, and you can only marvel at the visual miracles achieved by cinematographer Roger Deakins.” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone)
“A haunting retelling of one of the enduring outlaw sagas in American culture.” (Liza Schwarbaum, Entertainment Weekly)
