Kid Blue Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
November 16, 2024
“Kid Blue” is a 1970s counter-culture Western in which the roles are flipped—the sheriff is a corrupt bully, the robber is a flawed antihero, and the one good man loses his grip after his wife’s betrayal. While it had the potential to be great, the story ultimately fell flat and fizzled out.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Perry Stewart
Best yet of the current genre of off-beat Westerns, this whimsical examination of technology and conformity in Dime Box, Texas, 1902, showcases some of the finest acting and writing you'll see this year.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Kid Blue has a meandering jug band sensibility and a premise hilariously relevant to Hopper's situation.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Kid Blue is a well-meaning, liberal, anti-fascist Western, dressed up with some good performances by Peter Boyle, Lee Purcell and Janice Rule. But it's not a very good movie.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
A gentle little fable about the mechanization of the west and its effects on a small-time outlaw.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It was a keen satire of the last of the frontier days, but its hipness failed to rub off on me.
