Catherine Bray Guardian It’s probably somewhat too stately. But it is an odd, mostly compelling yarn, and acted with gusto and shot with real physical commitment to the wide open spaces and raw chill of the elements. Rated: 3/5 Apr 16, 2025 Full Review 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 Christian Jones Starburst It’s a thought-provoking meditation on survival and integrity in a world teetering on the edge of collapse. Rated: 4/5 May 21, 2025 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Fans of the rough, gritty end of the American western will have a ball with The Thicket. Rated: 8/10 Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This Western probably could have used more space to dig a little further into some of its characters, but, even as-is, it's a gorgeous, rousing movie focused on two fascinatingly damaged souls. Rated: 4/5 Dec 24, 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 M A The Thicket is a cold, eerie Western that sticks with you. Peter Dinklage brings real weight to the role with barely a word, and Juliette Lewis is magnetic, unpredictable and unforgettable. The frozen landscape feels haunted, and the story unfolds with a slow, tense rhythm. It’s gritty, emotional, and the performances give it real depth. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Eve F The Thicket is a gritty, atmospheric Western that delivers more than you’d expect. Peter Dinklage is quietly magnetic as a bounty hunter with a broken past, and Juliette Lewis steals every scene as the brutal and unforgettable Cut Throat Bill. The snowy, isolated landscape adds a haunting chill to the story, making it feel both mythic and grounded. It’s raw, strange, emotional, and beautifully shot. I honestly don’t know how I missed this one. It’s the kind of film that sticks with you, and you wonder why no one was talking about it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
