"A dry, dour film where the moments of poetic Americana barely cohere" | NEU |

"The movie fails to work up much excitement, and the title song by Bob Dylan is quite simply awful." | NEG |
United Kingdom |
Time Out | "Like Ford's 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance', it both records and condemns the passage of time and the advent of progress; and there is a sombre, mournful quality which places the film very high up in the league of great Westerns." | POS |

"Probably nobody involved was very happy about the results; Dylan doesn't come off at all." | NEG |
