Amigo Ratings & Reviews
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Sayles is always an interesting storyteller, and if "Amigo" isn't typical of his subtler methods, it's still a compelling look at history and its continuing influence.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Movies this intelligent and aware of so many different points of view should be celebrated, so kudos to Sayles for pulling it off, time and again, in his multi-decade career.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
When John Sayles wants to tell a story, he makes fine movies such as "Lone Star" and "The Secret of Roan Inish." When Sayles wants to prove a point, he makes dreck like "Amigo."
Las Vegas Weekly
Josh Bell
Amigo is quiet and slow, a war drama in which the war has mostly passed the main characters by.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"Amigo" might be the talkiest war movie ever made.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
You could argue that the chief villain of the ambiguously titled "Amigo" is language, which is used quite deliberately to mock and mislead and betray.

Leonard Maltin
Amigo ought to be a great film: the subject is fascinating and still resonates today, even though it takes place over a hundred years ago. The Philippine-American war has been pretty much ignored...
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
An engrossing, perceptive, supremely humane drama about imperialism and loyalty.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The overlong "Amigo" has its heart in the right place, but its approach to complex issues is too simplistic to win over unconverted minds.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Uneven but ultimately affecting...
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
A heavy-handed attack on U.S. imperialism with little to compensate in the way of character interest and genuine drama.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
"Amigo" is a well-carpentered narrative, fast-moving and emphatic, stepping nimbly from gravity to good humor.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
John Sayles, a filmmaker by trade, a provocateur by nature, means to stir things up with Amigo. That he does, and more power to him.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
The problem is that this pot of intrigue takes ages to boil, and the cook refuses to turn up the heat.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
A beautifully shot, beautifully acted, rich piece that whispers its messages rather than shouting them.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
Well cast and undeniably attuned to the nuances of human behavior, "Amigo" nevertheless suffers from simple dramatic shorthand.
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
Frustratingly sacrifices cinematic expressiveness and human nuance in favor of anachronistic, on-the-nose parallels.
Variety
Joe Leydon
Admirably sincere but bluntly simplistic.
The Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
It's a familiar tale, but the setting is different, and Sayles tells it with his usual cinematic vigor and attention to small detail.
