Critic Reviews
-
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
It does seem to take Mr. Granger an awfully long time to get around to freezing out Mr. Taylor. That's the way sermons sometimes go.

, Time Out
Russell Harlan's admirably low-key cinematography complements writer/director Brooks' down-beat tone.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
One of [Brooks'] better efforts.

, TV Guide's Movie Guide
The script's in-depth look into the motivating forces behind the characters is complemented by striking performances. Well-paced direction helps to keep the movie from lapsing into even a moment of dullness.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Not for the squeamish, as the killing of the buffalo is real--done by sharpshooters hired by the government to thin out the herd.
