What to Know

Critics Consensus

Cry Macho proves Clint Eastwood remains an economic filmmaker and charismatic screen presence -- albeit one who's an awkward fit for this particular project.

Audience Says

Clint Eastwood may be a little old for this role, but if you can stick with the somewhat slow story, Cry Macho is a decently entertaining drama with a positive message.

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk A world-weary cowboy attempts to find redemption by teaching a boy what it means to be a good man. Rated: 3/5 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) Nobody has turned getting old into a project like Eastwood has, the weariness deepening while the swagger fades like a mirage, leaving him frailer, more exposed and more recognisably human. But still Clint, still the myth. Rated: 4/5 Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Simran Hans Observer (UK) There's something touching about seeing the 91-year-old Eastwood in such a reflective mood. Rated: 3/5 Nov 13, 2021 Full Review Denise Pieniazek Puesta en Escena (AR) The story mainly fuses two film genres such as the road movie with the western, since we will observe this peculiar couple made up of an older man - an icon of one of the North American emblems such as the rodeo - and a Mexican teenager... Rated: 7.5/10 Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Akos Peterbencze Vulnerable Man (Medium) Westerns often have an oversimplified plot that gives more space for the protagonists to develop and drive the story. Cry Macho attempts to do just that but fails on many levels. Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Peter Bell Vague Visages Cry Macho is a slow, sweet story with outstanding cinematography that leaves viewers with the melancholy of a sunset, but it’s not a film that one must rush to see.

Virginia K I loved seeing Clint Eastwood!!!!!! The story was heartwarming and the movie had actual ACTING instead of just special effects. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/21 Full Review PayPal U To slow and the ending was terrible. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/24/21 Full Review RONALD L I liked the movie because it was realistic and easy to follow. Not much special effects. Clint is getting older and isn't trying to give a fake image of himself.. He realizes "A man got to know his limitations". Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/21 Full Review Melinda Great storyline. I have never watched a bad Clint Eastwood movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/21 Full Review Carolyn Sweet sorry of love and regret. Clint Eastwood amazes me. No sex, or real violence. Lesson on life, love, and family Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/21 Full Review Sandra S I got sick, so I wasn't able to go Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/21 Full Review Read all reviews
