The Iron Orchard Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
As competently put together as this movie is, it imparted to me no sense of a higher calling, and thus left me unmoved.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
If writer-director Ty Roberts doesn't exactly hit pay dirt, neither does he leave viewers completely empty-handed.
Austin Chronicle
Matthew Monagle
What it lacks is a distinct perspective; for all its period details and solid acting, the underlying message about this time in Texas oil history - that it was right, that it was wrong, that it was necessary - is lacking.
Spectrum Culture
Dominic Griffin
A curious soap opera that nobody outside of Texas will give a [crap] about.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
Director Ty Roberts's film is unable to realize that its subject matter is that of a horror story.
San Antonio Current
Kiko Martinez
It's obvious director Ty Roberts thinks he has an epic in his hands, but with underwritten characters and relationships, second-rate dialogue and an oil story that goes nowhere interesting, The Iron Orchard strikes nothing of substance.
Los Angeles Times
Kimber Myers
Though there are some well-framed shots from cinematographer Mathieu Plainfossé, the script from Gerry De Leon and director Ty Roberts is lifeless, covered in a layer of dust that the cast can't rouse it from.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Seemingly nostalgic for a period when West Texas roughnecks settled scores with baseball bats and laid pipe with pickaxes, this lovingly made homage to avarice feels strangely limp. Instead of gushing, it trickles.
Variety
Joe Leydon
Lane Garrison propels the film with his vibrant performance.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
The musical score is overcooked, the cast underpowered, and the dialogue something of a mishmash...
Film Legacy
Daniel Eagan
Thin but likable account of an oil wildcatter's rise and fall. Strong production values help offset cast and script issues.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
In terms oil men like those depicted here would have understood... turns out to be a dry hole.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Gerry De Leon's screenplay ... rarely, if ever, stops to examine the narrative beyond the surface of its melodramatic events.
Film Threat
Nick Rocco Scalia
Like the film's central character, these folks had a dream so big that only those wide-open spaces could contain it, but unlike him, they mostly found the right way to see it through.
