The performances are mediocre, with D'Onofrio coming across as comically theatrical. Yelchin as Jakey is comatose.

The Hollywood Reporter

[A] weirdly baroque modern-day Western that, while it boasts undeniably imaginative visual and plot flourishes, is far too absurd to take seriously.

Mr. Yelchin's character looks somewhat at a loss about what goes on here, and who can blame him, especially when he visits the former music teacher who has lost his legs in a run-in with the bad guys and now lives in a house warmed by a flaming barrel.

[It] has a couple of effective scenes of coiled-up tension and suitably moody chiaroscuro work by cinematographer Tim Stern, but it always feels like a very early draft of the story that eventually became Chopra's professional zenith.

Sacramento News & Review

It's hard to tell if the film is an unfunny joke or an earnest failure, but ham-fisted symbolism and sloppy plotting rule regardless.

Rated: 2/5

Despite the solid performances by the cast, it's an overwrought story that is more bleak than beautiful.

A good movie that keeps you in suspense until the end. The story is simple but effective, and while the acting isn’t outstanding, it works well enough. Once again, critics were too harsh—Broken Horses deserves better ratings

This is seriously way more entertaining than It Follows. Its sad to see this movie gets <50% rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics while a very pathetic movie like It Follows gets >90%.

An unbelievable and disjointed attempt at a Coen brothers movie. None of the characters had any redeeming qualities and it was a confusing mess of typical movie cliches.
