There are no bells and whistles in this Western but none are needed. Short and sweet and engaging. Tim Blake Nelson is typically excellent and the supporting cast is solid.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This western is just like they used to be made…only better. I'd rank this right up there with The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, and the other great spaghetti westerns from back in the day. The lead actor is incredibly talented.

A mediocre film might be excused somewhat by the merit of some ambition, but the problem with "Old Henry" is that there isn't enough of that, either.

Rated: C-

Trace Sauveur

Austin Chronicle

As it stands, there's a healthy amount to admire and for some it may be enough to scratch a certain itch. But much of Old Henry feels a lot like its protagonist: worn-out, weathered, and old.

Rated: 2.5/5

Built with the patience of a goldsmith, the story is dry, as economical as his characters, and direct: a tough nut to crack for eager viewers. [Full review in Spanish]
