J. R. Jones Chicago Reader hough recycled, the story is well plotted and paced, and the old hands in the cast elevate the familiar material. Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Carson Lund Slant Magazine For what it's worth, Jared Moshe seems genuinely interested in the role of unflagging decency in a sullied world. Rated: 2/4 Dec 16, 2017 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com Pullman is always great to watch. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 15, 2017 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The scrappy first half eventually gives way to a second hour that grows increasingly routine with its newfound emphasis on personal betrayal and political corruption. But it's nice to see Pullman handed a plum leading role. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 1, 2021 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming The Ballad of Lefty Brown is a highly entertaining Western that's worth going along with for the ride, even if the stagnant finale is unable to live up to the rest. Rated: 3/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Leigh Monson Substream Magazine There's a lot to enjoy in The Ballad of Lefty Brown's deconstruction of the western's emblematic sidekick character. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 1, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Susan G I really enjoyed the movie, several plots and twists, but kept my attention I recommend to any western movie buffs Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Ben B I loved how it's not your typical shoot em up western, and that it contains alot of information to the story line. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Kaden D Not good, not bad. It was alright. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review KB B It's kind of predictable and I've seen many similar situations before in other westerns but I still liked it. Bill Pullman was excellent as usual. It's definitely worth the watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Tony D The movie was very good, with lovely acting performances. Friendship trump's ruthless ambition. You have to be patient with the pacing, and the character development is sometimes a bit flawed in my opinion, but the "payoff" is worth it. The thing I most admire about it is the sense of frontier justice. You just can't do certain things back then: stealing a horse, rustling, taking a life, etc. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review pat o This is as good a modern Western as I have watched for a long time. Well worth a watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
