Noel Murray Los Angeles Times “Murder at Yellowstone City” strands an excellent cast in a slow-paced story with a muted tone, too far removed from its pulpy inspirations. Jun 24, 2022 Full Review Josh Kupecki Austin Chronicle There are many moments in Murder at Yellowstone City that will strike you with either affectionate familiarity or, more likely, eye-rolling embarrassment. Jun 23, 2022 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety Director Richard Gray’s well-crafted and handsomely mounted indie is as much a solidly constructed mystery as it is it a conventionally satisfying oater, with much to recommend to fans of either genre who rarely get to sample such a mix. Jun 23, 2022 Full Review Jesse Hassenger Decider Murder is neither here nor there; not a powerful morality tale, and not much of an exploitation picture. Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Never catches fire. Rated: C+ Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com Something in this film harkens back to the days of "High Noon" and "Stagecoach." It isn't a high quality product but it does have appeal. Rated: 6/10 Jul 2, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Kathy Great movie! If you love the slow burn of a western this has it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/22 Full Review Jelisije J A movie that takes a bit to long for the story to really get going, but once the twist is revealed its downright awesome and left a memorable experience. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Paul N Whilst the movie received poor ratings both from Rotten Tomatoes and the viewers, I did feel that they were perhaps being a bit harsh on the producers and actors, as to my mind it may not go down as a memorable one however I still found it entertaining as a Western movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/25 Full Review Tiburcio d It's just a horrible movie. Unnecessary in all respects. Avoid it like the plague. How this got funded? Why? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/25 Full Review Brian B This is literally the worst western, or even movie I’ve ever seen! It made absolutely no sense and was a total waste of time. Anyone who liked this movie must be related to the cast, or director. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/29/25 Full Review Marc Z It is hard for me not to like Westerns. This is no exception. Like martial arts movies, I always find something redeeming. This is a low budget, Western mystery taking place in Montana post Civil War. The cast is good. Gabriel Byrne, Thomas Jane, and Anna Camp are very good in the starring roles. The movie has a slow and campy start. The look is low budget. The script is a little cheesy. However at the end of the day the parts are greater than their sum and the movie becomes engaging and action packed. There are a number of sub-themes that are never fleshed out, but that is ok. I liked it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
