William Bibbiani TheWrap The Thicket is an awful story, in a great way. Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Rex Reed Observer Juliette Lewis steals the show in a bleak, action-heavy Western that lacks the depth to match its gritty visuals. Rated: 2/4 Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Craig D. Lindsey RogerEbert.com The unlimited amount of Sturm and Drang on display will turn away those looking for a fun, engaging shoot-’em-up. Rated: 2/4 Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots By trying too hard to be gritty, complex, and profound, this lackluster Western ends up bringing very little to the table. Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Ventana Indiscreta It combines clichés with a well-crafted atmosphere and outstanding performances, especially from Juliette Lewis. Although the plot is not innovative, its execution and visual style make the film feel unique and effective. Full review in Spanish. Rated: 4/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Alan Zilberman Spectrum Culture Elliott Lester has a familiar plot and familiar archetypes, and yet The Thicket has virtually nothing new to say. It is an exercise for its own sake, and now that Westerns have existed as long as the movies themselves, that simply is not enough. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

justin b I will say, the trailer made the film seem like it would have more high octane action, but whats in the trailer in terms of action is in the movie and nothing more. But, the writing, acting and cinematography made up for it. My wife and I really enjoyed the film, so much I actually want to read the book now. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Erin It was a really good movie. It had a really good plot and storyline.The actors and actresses did an excellent job. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Joseph S So fantastic. Dinklage is awesome, of course, but not even the best part. Levon Hawke is a revelation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Victor L Not sure why theres a lack of promotion for this movie. I didnt even know it was coming out. I saw it tonight and Im glad I did because its an exceptional film. The whole cast did great. Peter Dink stood out and really nailed this roll. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Iddo G This was the bomb, caught it on Amazon while surfing through. Had no idea it had even come out, weird. So good! Rough Western world. Imaginative and good, old fashioned entertainment without being 4 hours long! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Ashlir D Juliette Lewis has been off the scene for a while now. She was part of my youth: Natural Born Killers, Kalifornia and Cape Fear. So surprised to see her in the movie. She is a bright bright light in what to me, is a well trodden road. Her handy work with the gravel in her voice was scary. The movie is a call back to an era long forgotten, it takes its time and the other cast fit in perfectly. Shout out to Levon Hawke, Ethan and Uma’s son who shines. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
