Adam Nayman The Walrus Western is languidly paced, at times to the point of inertia, but its shots of flat-lined Southern landscapes stretching on past the horizon are painterly enough to warrant your patience. Feb 29, 2016 Full Review Daniel M. Gold New York Times A layered, atmospheric chronicle of living traditions like bullfights and rodeos, mariachi bands and Texas two-steps. Sep 24, 2015 Full Review Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice The film, a hard jewel of beauty and reportage, demands and rewards [a] second viewing. Sep 22, 2015 Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo The Canadian Crew While brave, the strategy slows the story to a crawl. Western is also hurt by its main subjects, neither particularly articulate or compelling. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 30, 2020 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Instead of concentrating on the gangs, whose presence looms larger since the Ross Brothers wisely leave them so undefined, the focus intensifies on the uneasy relationship that still exists amongst the border towns. Nov 15, 2018 Full Review Ron Wilkinson Monsters and Critics A poignant story of a traditional, peaceful and productive way of live ripped apart by drugs and politicians. Rated: 9/10 Jan 18, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
