Owen Gleiberman Variety Aug 17, 2026
Is it a good movie? No, not really. But it’s one that inspires me to imagine -- as every Alex Cox movie does -- the glory of what might have been. Go to Full Review Beatrice Loayza New York Times Aug 13, 2026
Dead Souls makes for a riotous swan song. Go to Full Review Peter Sobczynski RogerEbert.com Jul 22, 2026
3.5/4
If this does prove to be Cox’s final directorial effort, it is nice to see him going out literally guns a-blazing. Go to Full Review Chris Cassingham In Review Online Aug 21, 2026
Dead Souls’ power goes beyond a mere accounting of Western archetypes and penchant for subverting them. Its general scrappiness engenders...atmosphere. Go to Full Review Armond White National Review Jul 31, 2026
The insurgency of Dead Souls lies in Cox’s response to American history. Western aggression also inspires Cox’s own outsider’s awe -- and it’s musical. Go to Full Review Betsy Sherman Arts Fuse Jul 29, 2026
