Critic Reviews
-
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader
Imagine a collaboration between John Ford and Wallace Stevens and you might get a sense of what Kelly Reichardt pulls off here: a sincere re-creation of the pioneer experience, brought to life through careful, often unexpected detail.
-
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
Greatly enhanced by the performances of Michelle Williams and Bruce Greenwood, director Kelly Reichardt's film quietly becomes engrossing - it almost sneaks up on you.
-
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
A mesmerizing cinematic journey that is often as arduous and spare as the lives of its hard-bitten protagonists.
-
Tom Long, Detroit News
This is the sort of film critics love to praise because the filmmaker has done good work before; and well, there must be something there. Well, there's not.
-
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
A film ponderously slow in pace yet kinetically charged with insight; starkly realistic yet allegorical too; psychologically astute yet politically resonant.
