Dead Man's Burden Ratings & Reviews
The Playlist
Katie Walsh
Dead Man's Burden is worth the watch for its sheer beauty, but it's also a slow burner of Western tragedy that hails many new talents to keep an eye on.
Film.com
Laremy Legel
Ponderous but lovely, simple but elegant, it should appeal to fans of Westerns.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It's a strong debut for Moshe, who, with the exception of some of the oater dialogue, shows both a reverence for and a knowledge of the genre that's intriguing.
New York Daily News
Miriam Bale
Despite visual nods to dozens of classic Westerns, the film cannot break through with its own vision.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
The story is modest to the point of occasionally seeming slight, and the ending is a tad too cute in the way it circles back to the beginning, but even those flaws just make it feel more authentic. See it now, before it gets rediscovered.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Small in scale but with a grand visual ambition, "Dead Man's Burden" draws nourishment from its burned-out desert setting and ambling pace.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
While soaked in ambiguity, Dead Man's Burden maintains the Western requisite that bullets must find their targets.
Paste Magazine
Curtis Woloschuk
Mosh immediately establishes an unforgiving milieu for his moody, minimalist Western.
Slant Magazine
Budd Wilkins
It's always a pleasure to encounter genre ambition contained in such a sinewy-shot, emotionally resonant, and gorgeously photographed package.
amNewYork
Robert Levin
The movie offers a convincing look at the sort of irreparable damage the Civil War did to families, but too often it feels like self-conscious role-play.
Village Voice
Zachary Wigon
A refreshing respite from filmmakers who believe the only low-budget option is to stay firmly ensconced in their own milieu.
Variety
Boyd van Hoeij
A slow-burning oater that's not gun-shy when it matters, Dead Man's Burden reps an impressive first feature from producer-turned-helmer Jared Moshe.
The Hollywood Reporter
Justin Lowe
An intense family drama that plays out as a low-key Western.
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
There's nothing like some good old fashioned gunfire, family squabbles, horse riding, spurs, miners and homesteaders to get the juices flowing and that's just what first time feature writer/director Jared Moshe does.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
While it doesn't reach the height of exuberance seen in many of the films it invokes, Dead Man's Burden is an intriguing effort.
Film Journal International
Maitland McDonagh
Oddly lifeless, despite the clearly devoted efforts of the cast and crew: It's admirable without being particularly engaging, so respectful of its cinematic predecessors that its own voice is strangled.
