The Thicket is an awful story, in a great way.

Observer

Juliette Lewis steals the show in a bleak, action-heavy Western that lacks the depth to match its gritty visuals.

Rated: 2/4

The unlimited amount of Sturm and Drang on display will turn away those looking for a fun, engaging shoot-’em-up.

Rated: 2/4

Cinemalogue

This bleak and brutal frontier thriller is downbeat and deliberately paced, bolstered by striking visuals and character-driven intrigue to offset its genre cliches and stereotypes.

Behind The Lens

There is a captivating brutal, visceral beauty to the Western thriller THE THICKET... an attention to visuals while balancing that with performance and story...[Juliette] Lewis is award-worthy.

Through the drama, grit and ruthless killings, 'The Thicket' has themes of self-identity, consequences, survival, and moving on. Over-all, 'The Thicket' is an intense modern Western drama with a stellar cast and stunning imagery. A must-watch!

Rated: 4/5

So fantastic. Dinklage is awesome, of course, but not even the best part. Levon Hawke is a revelation.

Very good western, circa early 20th century. The story is tight with appropriate investment in character development. (One exception—it could be argued Jack’s development was rushed—potentially due to editing.). Beautifully shot with costumes and sets in synch with the period. Great, strong cast who made the story believable.
