What to Know

Critics Consensus

Let Him Go's uneven blend of adult drama and revenge thriller is smoothed over by strong work from a solid veteran cast.

Kevin Maher Times (UK) [A] tense yet soulful thriller set in the early 1960s. Rated: 4/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Leonard Maltin leonardmaltin.com It's rare to find a Hollywood movie featuring mature stars that's worthy of their participation and has a decent story to tell.Released in theaters in November, during the pandemic,Let Him Gonever had a chance to find the audience it deserves Jan 22, 2021 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review Costner does the world-weary cowboy very well, with very good support...and a very good score. Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Francesca Steele iNews.co.uk This is as much a portrait of a marriage, as it is a slow-burn thriller about custody, and it is every bit as tender as it is tense. Rated: 4/5 Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Thomas Quist Vague Visages Unlike many neo-westerns, which bandy hollow notions of ‘civilization’ that play out on the film’s surface, Let Him Go runs a classical plot through a refined image of modern society. Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Akos Peterbencze Vulnerable Man (Medium) Let Him Go accurately portrays an era that was dominated by men, but it focuses on the roles that women represented back in the 60s. The women that guided and raised a generation of men to become potent leaders. Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Kimberly J Absolutely Great story of Family Love Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/21 Full Review Patricia P I really liked the story. I didn't want the movie to end. the acting was first class excellence! never expect anything less from Costner! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/21 Full Review Curt A thriller with lacking thrills! Half baked character development, and very implausible scene in hotel room and at the ranch home of demented family, ruined much. A potential story line, yet never really carried out to fruition. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/21 Full Review Anna B Just enough action and just enough intrigue. Diane Lane is o e of my favorite actresses. I also like how it wasn’t the perfect happy ending you always anticipate in movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/21 Full Review elizabeth C Very slow and far fetched. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/21/20 Full Review Tommie Not Kevin Costner’s best work... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/21/20 Full Review Read all reviews
