	Author	Review
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"John Maclean's impeccably crafted writing-directing debut at times has a distinctly Coen-esque flavor in its mix of sly intelligence, bleak humor and unsettling violence, exuding fierce confidence."	POS
United States	Rodrigo Perez IndieWire	"'Slow West' is a terrific little parable, and a strong debut by John Maclean worth treasuring."	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A wholly enjoyable buddy Western punctuated by occasional shocks of black humor."	POS
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"This first feature is bold, beautiful and original enough for Scottish musician turned film-maker John Maclean (...) to plant his flag as a major new director. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"The glorious cinematography (...) sharply illustrates the disparity between the rugged majesty of the landscape and the savagery of its outlaws and adventurers."	POS
