Critic Reviews

Variety Staff, Variety
Redford and company have put a quirky twist on the material, investing it with a quasi-mystical aspect as well as some raw comedy.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Fairly choked with good intentions, whimsy, touches of fantasy, and cardboard liberal stereotypes.
-
Vincent Canby, New York Times
The film is very big on sunsets and sunrises. It also has a touristy appreciation for all manner of things folkloric. What it doesn't have is dramatic coherence or backbone.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Corny, you bet. But that's to be admired in an old war horse on the last frontier.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
If Redford had left out a few of the waffling, undecided characters and drawn his dramatic lines more strongly, the film might have been a lot more powerful.
