While Greengrass' Texas is a place where naivety can get you killed, he still finds a place for trust and healing, expressed through the growing interdependence of Kidd and the kid.

Everyone here is at the top of their craft from the character actors who populate the ensemble to the two leads at its center to everyone behind the camera, and you can feel that from first frame to last.

...a terrific showcase for two actors at completely different ends of their careers and a quietly emotional dispatch about two broken souls learning to heal.

...a rewarding and entertaining drama...

...Zengel... is remarkable, her fierce, lucid performance almost entirely contained in non-verbal cues and gestures.

The filmmaker and his stars haven’t reinvented the genre with this Western allegory. The fortunate thing for us is their realizing they didn’t need to.

Hanks is as affable as always...

In Paul Greengrass’s 19th-century odyssey, a grizzled Hanks and magnificent young Helena Zendel bring an old genre to fizzing new life.

...works at the highest levels as a story of two lost souls who find one another, and as a crackling good, blood-spattered Western.

Paul Greengrass and Tom Hanks have given us something truly special with their latest collaboration: a film that is engaging and challenging but also just makes you feel good.

Greengrass is known for meticulously building tension in heart-stopping thrillers (...) and here he delivers more of the same.

...an old-fashioned Western drama, including a deeply humanistic performance by one of our great current movie stars.

...jeg havde det bedre med verdens tilstand efter at have tilbragt to timer i selskab med Hanks og Zengel.

En lågmäld västern. Känns hela tiden rätt för oss som gillar genren...

...påminner oss också om att USA är en nation vars grund vilar på ett urskillningslöst folkmord på dess urinvånare.
