The Tall T Ratings & Reviews
WindUp
February 9, 2025
Terrific complex, moody psychological western, and my favorite of the Boetticher-Scott films. The eastern Sierra Alabama Hills scenery is gorgeous. The Criterion edition is the one to see.
Michael J. Cinema
Michael J. Casey
By keeping the movies brisk and the story tight, director Budd Boetticher employs an economy of storytelling that is enviable in today's landscape of bloated runtimes and overly busy storylines.
PopMatters
Michael Barrett
We get a sense of lonely camaraderie laced with suspicion and danger in the middle of nowhere.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Brutal and uncompromising.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Conceals a complex world view beneath its desolate and blood-soaked landscapes.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Boetticher unfolds this hostage scenario on bare natural prosceniums, and with stark delicacy lets the characters' personal moral codes brush against and shade into each other
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Western gem full of trickster characters and an odd take on gender.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The Tall T has some of the best sequences in the "Ranown" series.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A marvelous but bleak psychological Western.
