Critic Reviews
-
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
The villainous turns by Jon Voight (as a hard-hearted Mormon bishop) and Terence Stamp (as a bloodthirsty Brigham Young) would have been more fun if they weren't part of such a clumsy campaign to lay this tragedy at the church's doorstep.
-
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
The workmanlike craftsmanship of Cain's filmmaking almost (but never quite) smooths over the ham-fisted way he conceives the story.
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
A plodding and highly questionable history lesson.
-
Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times
The maudlin, grotesque western September Dawn apes Schindler's List in hopes of creatinga Christian Holocaust picture.

Kyle Smith, New York Post
