Let Him Go Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Watching Diane Lane and Kevin Costner connect as a couple determined to retrieve their grandson is pure movie heaven.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It's the contradictions that sell it.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Superb acting and complex characters prop up this flawed and intense thriller that loses its way with an absurdly violent third act.
Observer
Rex Reed
Let Him Go wastes no time pulling you into an emotional grasp so compelling you can't believe what happens as the narrative moves from one shocking scene to the next in a pandemic of violence.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
In many ways, it feels like the midcentury pulp thrillers it emulates: well-plotted and grisly, but almost ephemeral. It is Lane's performance that lingers, one that dares to be uniquely hopeful about the future, and letting the old ways die.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Chris Hewitt
Its pleasures are almost contemplative, and although there is plenty of action, the real meat of the movie is the action in the characters' heads.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Costner and Lane know these two characters like the back of their proverbial hands, slipping into these personas with hushed, unhurried ease.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
It's rare to find a Hollywood movie featuring mature stars that's worthy of their participation and has a decent story to tell.Released in theaters in November, during the pandemic,Let Him Gonever had a chance to find the audience it deserves
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
This is well done. Effective, if a little familiar thematically.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
These are skilled actors, but the writing is so threadbare and the direction is so lacking in nuance that genuine dramatic energy gets lost by the wayside.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
The patient, somber direction gives the characters - and the actors playing them - room to breathe.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Ultimately, the real firepower resides in the performances, from the palpable sense of menace Manville projects to the simple devotion and tenderness that Lane and Costner exhibit toward the boy and each other.
ABC News
Peter Travers
Kevin Costner lends his star power to this high-tension thriller, but even he can't match the wallop of seeing Diane Lane and Lesley Manville in action as mothers pushed to the limit.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
This is, by far, the director's tensest and most brutal movie ever, and he's a natural. Exorcising some inner demons, perhaps.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
With uncommon stealth, "Let Him Go" morphs from a drama about loss and grief into a terrifying thriller.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Understated in its quiet rhythms and vast beauty, [Let Him Go] is fortified with strong performances and, eventually, punctuated by shocking moments of violence.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
You could do worse than sticking an iconic Ma and Pa pair in a dusky detective story that plays out in beauteous open countryside... It's too bad, then, that the movie overreaches.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
There's blunt power in the execution, most of it concentrated in Bezucha's moody big-sky atmosphere, and in the seasoned professionals he's found to tell the tale.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A latter-day Western whose story never quite comes into focus.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The performances in Let Him Go are engrossing (even if the characters are a bit underdeveloped), but the film's gear change between mournfulness and madness is stuck in idle.
