Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle It's really Davis' nuanced performance that anchors Buck's story in heartbreak. Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT Buck Alamo or (A PhantasmagoricalBallad) is a journey of self discovery and redemption that has elements of a tall tale with a musical twist. It is also a moving story that will stay with its audience. Rated: 8/10 Nov 4, 2021 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film What really makes Buck interesting as a character is his awareness of his own failure. Rated: 4/5 Oct 28, 2021 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia A lyrical and often febrile portrait of a man facing up to his past and not liking what he sees. Oct 24, 2021 Full Review Kat Hughes THN Infectiously entertaining, Ben Epstein's exploration of an old cowboy on the brink of death transports the viewer into the world of true country music. Rated: 4/5 Oct 25, 2020 Full Review Deirdre Crimmins That Shelf Buck Alamo does not ask you to forgive, and it understands if you never forget. But don't let that keep you from having one last evening under the stars, living in the moment, with one of the last true singing cowboys. Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Lilah C This is a beautiful story all around. If you are from Texas it will hit home. If you are not it will still remind you of a story of a person from a town you will know and warm your heart equally the same. It is a story of life, death, tragedy, comedy, regrets and just living. Told by one of the best leads around - Mr Sonny Carl Davis. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review Tucker C The campfire scene alone makes this worth watching Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review Daisy J It took me a second to find the rhythm of the gem. Once I did it completely engrossed me. I only turned on this little indie to pass the time seeing how short it was, and it has its limitations, but also it quickly became one of my favorite films of the year. If you are looking for something different give 80 minutes of your time to live in this strange little slice of Americana. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Lucy C Beautiful film. Sonny Carl Davis' nuanced performance alone is reason to watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
