Critics Consensus

As both director and star, Clint Eastwood strips away decades of Hollywood varnish applied to the Wild West, and emerges with a series of harshly eloquent statements about the nature of violence.

Desde sus inicios en la televisión con Rawhide y en el cine con la trilogía del dólar, Clint Eastwood se ha convertido en sinónimo de western. Es difícil pensar en Clint Eastwood sin relacionarlo con el western y ya se ha vuelto un icono para ese género que tanto lo llevo a la fama. Claro que Eastwood también se ha ganado un lugar en el género policial y noir con películas como la saga de Dirty Harry, pero no lo han marcado tanto como el western. Clint Eastwood decidió empezar una nueva etapa dedicándose al cine dramático y dejar atrás esa imagen de vaquero que siempre ha cargado. Quiso despedirse de esa parte de su vida con esta película y termino haciendo la que es quizás otro de sus mejores westerns. Aquí Clint es un forajido temerario que dejo su vida atrás hasta, pero debe hacer un último trabajo más. El personaje que Clint interpreta aquí se podría interpretar como una metáfora de la figura icónica en la que Clint se ha convertido en el mundo del western y quiere dejar eso atrás. Hay que tener en cuenta que Clint ya no quería seguir siendo etiquetado por el western y verlo en esta película desde ese ángulo hace que su personaje sea interesante. Entre otros miembros del elenco a destacar tenemos al emblemático Morgan Freeman acompañando a Clint y a Gene Hackman como un sheriff bastante malicioso. Estos 3 actores son sin duda lo mejor que esta película ofrece. Hay que admitir que en esta película Clint Eastwood ofrece lo mejor de sí como actor y director usando lo que aprendió en sus días como icono del western. Unforgiven es una gran despidida para los días de Clint Eastwood como icono del western y eso hace que sea una película merecedora de elogios. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 8/10.

Proudly stands, head held high with the very best westerns ever made. Everything from Clints masterly direction, the wonderful cast who are all at the top of their respective games, the gritty script and the musical score are absolutely top notch. It's not just a best in class western but a hugely affecting film that will stay with you long after you've watched it. The perfect flip side of the coin to Clints spaghetti western phase and an absolute must watch modern masterpiece. I've watched this more times than I care to say and it's still utterly mesmerising.

One of the best written, acted movies I've ever seen. Clint Eastwood, I felt, played the sum of all his roles in westerns over his career and they added up to the main character William Munny. The climax of this film is rewarding and is a grand salute to the greatest, in my opinion Cowboy on film. 10/10. Gene Hackman is so good he's despicable, and Freeman was the moral compass.

It is arguably his [Eastwood] finest achievement, it is certainly his apex as an actor.

[Eastwood's] best Western -- the most distinguised film he has appeared in and directed -- since The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Financial Times

Clint Eastwood's brilliant and harrowing Unforgiven packs all the punch of a good Western without indulging in the plot cliches and moral certitudes so often inherent in the genre.

... it finally made official what critics and fans had slowly come to realize over the last decade: Clint Eastwood—legendary as both the iconic western drifter with no name and Dirty Harry—was one of America’s best directors.

David Webb Peoples’ screenplay skillfully balances the seasoned perspective on the ramifications of violence with the compelling journey of a young gunslinger determined to make a name for himself.
