Dead Man Ratings & Reviews
- Caleb Brian4 dgn geledenThe most vibes western ever made, a strange, poigniant journey
- matthew681181 april 2026Weird as fuck. Nonsense plot. Somehow a completely captivating movie
- Mister Arn16 mei 2025"Dead Man" offers a surreal and existential journey through the West, guided by the enigmatic character Nobody. The film's haunting soundtrack and black-and-white cinematography create a dreamlike atmosphere. Its unique approach makes it a compelling and worthwhile watch.
- Patrick Wai26 maart 2026Shot in striking black and white, Dead Man turns a simple Western setup into a funny, artsy, and deeply weird surreal odyssey, with Johnny Depp drifting through a dreamlike frontier alongside a famously stacked cast. It’s the kind of movie that keeps making you wonder whether you’re watching a dark comedy, a ghost story, or just one long fever dream, and honestly the answer is probably all three. I admired it more than I loved it: the imagery is gorgeous, the oddball humor lands more often than you’d expect, and the whole thing has that unmistakable “important art film” energy, but it’s also so strange and self-consciously arty that it feels like the kind of movie most people only need to experience once.
- wolsk018 januari 2026Still a great watch
- photosma17 november 2025If you're in the mood for an acid western film, especially one with a grand cast featuring John Hurt, Iggy Pop, Lance Henriksen, Billy Bob Thornton, and Michael Wincott, you won't be disappointed. Poetic and abstract combined together, along with music by Neil Young!
- Hgmvhf3 november 2025Jarmusch thinks he's good at things. He isn't. Still he's making movies in a genre I like, so I appreciate that.
- Frances Kelly3 oktober 2025This is by far one of the best and funniest movies that’s also one of a kind!
- Desmond Dale24 januari 2025Jim's style is hyper concentrated here with all of his trademarks and signatures all over it. It's a black n white film with high contrast and lots of wide angles so you can really breathe in the environment and ambiance which is at times nearly as fascinating as the center of focus. What I love about Dead Man is that it's a deep movie and it's also incredibly simplistic as well. It's an adventure film centered around a psychedelic trip with the end in clear view and yet despite its morbid fatalistic plot the film ends up feeling breezy and largely comedic. It's kind of like a western version of Easy Rider. The ending is both bittersweet and serene, beautiful.
- edward quin15 maart 2025An exquisitely formed vision that elicits the tragic absurdity of the western genocide. Gary Farmer as Nobody is as compelling and as unforgettable as Falstaff. The whole cast and their comings and goings are as fascinating as Shakespeare would have made them and all of it made sublime by the soundtrack. The best Western ever made.
- Aaron Slade24 april 2025When Johnny Depp was in his prime, before selling his soul to Disney devil. Dead Man is essentially an art house western, with a layering of effect driven guitar drones. I for one hope Depp goes back to smaller, better material he did all throughout the 90s
