Two hapless drifters, Frank (Kiowa Gordon) and Bruno (John Way), team up with Linde (Lily Gladstone) to recover her land and trek across 1870's Southern Arizona to find an elusive frontier musician. The complex quantum time theory is blended with philosophical musings about art as the way we understand our history and memories, with gunfights, horses, dance halls, cacti, and saloons!

Mind-bending (in a good way) mix of animation and live action. Fascinating story -- hang in there through a heady intro -- as there is major payoff at the end.

Bizarre first act sets up a trippy but impactful climax, apparently the first in a series (I hope they make more) Great philosophical musings, cool animation, and Lily Gladstone, what's not to like?

This is pretty much incredible. It raises the bar for combining animation and real-life action. And it’s a “brainy” plot but really accessible with great turns. No wonder so many film festivals screen it. A must see!

The banter between Linde, Frank + Bruno was so smart and kept me laughing throughout their trials. Also really enjoyed the film crew from the future Ray, Victoria + Calvin. I definitely would watch again maybe w/some mushrooms next time ⭐️

Third Coast Review

There’s no way you’ll find Quantum Cowboys anything other that original and inspired, even if you also find it puzzling and born of hippies.

Rated: 2.5/4

It is the vibrancy to the presentation that remains the standout though the performances are also good fun. In particular, Gladstone once again shows she can inhabit any character and make them feel like someone you've known for a lifetime.

Rated: B+

Quantum Cowboys is truly a piece of “you just have to see it to get it” cinema. It’s stunning animation, it is sophisticated storytelling, it is a mind bender that will have you on the edge of sensory overload.

Initially disorienting, its eclectic visuals grew on me, leading to a captivating experience. A multiverse Western that offers a thought-provoking, cosmic adventure through time and space.
