The performances are mediocre, with D'Onofrio coming across as comically theatrical. Yelchin as Jakey is comatose. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 04/10/2015
[A] weirdly baroque modern-day Western that, while it boasts undeniably imaginative visual and plot flourishes, is far too absurd to take seriously. Go to Full Review
Nicolas Rapold New York Times 04/09/2015
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. Go to Full Review
Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in 06/21/2016
[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. Go to Full Review
Daniel Barnes Sacramento News & Review 05/30/2015
2/5
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. Go to Full Review
Itrath Syed Georgia Straight 04/13/2015
Despite the solid performances by the cast, it's an overwrought story that is more bleak than beautiful. Go to Full Review

Matteo G @TigerTeo Feb 26 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 See more 03/17/2018 I thought this was a very good movie See more 08/06/2016 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%. See more 02/07/2016 Un bon film sur la manipulation de gens simple d'esprit. See more 01/01/2016 I truly hated this awful movie. The writers and actors should be shot. See more 12/01/2015 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.
