Critic Reviews
-
Christopher Long, Movie Metropolis
I dont have to run away from anything cause I dont believe in anything!
-
James Kendrick, Q Network Film Desk
strange, sub-Coen Brothers caricature that, especially when underscored with Alex North's deliberately hammy hillbilly music, never amounts to much more than a condescending tragicomic satire of spiritual emptiness
-
Matthew Sorrento, Film Threat
Huston stays true to the novel's events but draws from the story all the black comedy he can find. We are in strange territory.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Any film that features both Harry Dean Stanton and Ned Beatty as scam artists and its tale about religious hypocrisy borders on madness, is one not to be missed.
-
Chris Cabin, Filmcritic.com
perhaps the most ballistic of Huston's late-period films
