Nick Schager The Daily Beast [David] Milch's writing magnificently blends the high and the low, with old-world phraseology punctuated with great stinging bursts of vulgarity. Dec 10, 2019 Full Review Dan Jolin Empire Magazine This is a finely wrought return to a modern Golden Age TV classic, which more than makes up for its lack of surprises with the almost tender treatment of its characters, and dialogue that's written to be relished. Rated: 4/5 Dec 10, 2019 Full Review Eric Deggans NPR "Deadwood" movie is a pleasing reunion, giving the characters and Milch the kind of ending this groundbreaking series always deserved. Nov 23, 2019 Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv This is the Deadwood for anyone who might have been scared of Deadwood before. Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It works as a stand-alone drama. Rated: B May 20, 2021 Full Review Neal Pollack Book & Film Globe The Deadwood movie is a deeply-satisfying and tightly-written coda to one of the best TV series ever.

Chris A I didn't expect to like this film as much as I did, but this truly is a masterpiece that wraps up the Deadwood story in a great and unforgettable way!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Audience Member I watched the series at the encouragement of a friend. Thought it was decent. Maybe 3.5 / 4 stars. A bit soap opera like for me. Was very disappointed how it ended; seemed they expected to be back for a fourth season that didn’t happen. Felt the movie tried to bring closure, which it did. However, though it’s 10 years later in the movie it seems a lot longer as the actors have aged (or appeared to age) so much. Some of the story seemed contrived also. Another reviewer said it was strictly for the fans, and I don’t disagree. It tries to hard at times to wrap things up. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Bryan E This movie is a complete waste of life! A disgrace to the Western classification. A tired overused plot, utilized once again for some narcissistic writer that enjoys listening to their own tasteless and senseless banter! I would love to slap the 1:50's of my life that was robbed from me right out of the writer's fat head! What an absolutely dreadful and miserable movie that just did not ever get any better than terrible! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Spencer S DEADWOOD the series has gone down in my books as the greatest television show of all time. It takes its time to ruminate on how such savage and cruel people who have lived such savage and cruel lives could band together and balance out their separate furies enough to build something great. Its the building of civilization on the micro and macrocosm, a Shakespearean tale of love and mercy and death. DEADWOOD: THE MOVIE takes all that and wraps it all in a nice little bow to send us off down that dark road we must all travel alone. It's a striking tale, one told with such an eye for prose that it stands heads and shoulders above its counterparts. This movie was everything I could have ever hoped for. Fucking phenomenal. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Fred N This movie is only for people who wanted a different ending to the series. It does not stand alone, since it assumes so much context from the series (although it includes brief flashbacks). It shares much of the implausibility of the series. Unfortunately, because it hews to at least some historical facts, it can't have the ending people wanted. One odd thing is that although it supposedly took place only 10 years after the end of the series, almost everyone looks substantially more than 10 years older. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review H M Mediocre western. Not terrible but not great. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
