Will Penny Ratings & Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
It's not a lament for a passing way of life as much as it's a look at the limits enforced by such a lifestyle.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
'Will Penny' has a lovely, elegiac flow, with supple cinematography by the Lucien Ballard ('The Wild Bunch'), and a focus on character and place.
Common Sense Media
Tracy Moore
Cowboy character study mixes violence and depth; some peril.
New York Times
Renata Adler
But for one scene too cruel for the story to support, and one scene in which the hero is taught Christmas carols too maudlin to believe, "Will Penny" might have been the best cowboy movie in some time.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Perhaps we should make a distinction between Westerns and cowboy movies, one we can use when a film like Will Penny comes along. This isn't a Western; it's slung too close to the ground for that. But it is the best cowboy movie since Hud.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Heston's best work...and not surprisingly his favorite role.

Kansas City Star
Dan Lybarger
Charlton Heston's solid turn in a more life-sized role is the centerpiece of this darkly haunting western.

Dennis Schwartz
One of the most underrated Westerns ever made.
