Bend of the River Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn

Can a man change? Stewart attempts redemption, and this classy Western-style film tests him at every turn.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
A stunner - shockingly violent (the brutality always catches us off-guard), morally ambiguous, beautifully paced.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
Bend of the River should draw no complaints from western fans and movie goers in general.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Part of the growing breed of oaters that added psychological underpinnings to the usual shoot-'em-up antics.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
It's like Stewart was pouring every negative emotion he felt over the past ten years into one moment.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Against Mann's splendors, as always, lie the elusiveness of civilization, the flux of alliances, and the purgative wrestling of warriors

David Cornelius
The screenplay keeps the simple tale moving at a furious clip.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
One of five masterful Westerns Anthony Mann made with James Stewart.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
One of the greatest Westerns ever.
