Robin Clifford, Reeling Reviews
...first time documaker [Jennifer] Venditti, with the charismatic and volatile Billy, keeps it interesting from start to finish.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A flat fictionalized rendition of Billy the Kid, with the miscast Hollywood glamor boy Robert Taylor as the lead.
