The New York Times has a negative review. The Guardian says, "this beautiful, oddly affecting film is one of the three best Altman movies."
Slant Magazine gives it 4 out of 4 stars and says, "If not the greatest western ever made, McCabe & Mrs. Miller could be the most authentic representation of wilderness life ever put on screen." Empire Online gives it 5 out of 5 stars and concludes, "They say that great actors are never knowingly caught acting; Altman's best movies are similarly effortless - experiences to be lived in, rather than simply watched."
Roger Ebert has it on his list of "great movies". Rotten Tomatoes has a critics rating of 89%.

I don't know this film, but I like the actors and actresses who star in it. Sorry it didn't appeal to you though, but I guess you can't like them all, even if the critics and a lot of other folks like a film or book. What do they know anyhow, right? have a great rest of your weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I've seen it just because it's so well-known. But so sad!
DeleteToo bad you didn't like it, but right now, I would like to see happy, not sad or hopeless films. Thanks for your honest review, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm not generally a fan of sad movies. I find I hardly ever re-watch them no matter how good they are.
DeleteI know I saw this all those years ago but I honestly don't remember much about it other than everything seemed gritty and grimy as you would expect it to have been in real life.
ReplyDeleteYes! A more realistic view than all those westerns where clothes don't get dirty and everybody's hair looks like it was just shampooed and styled by a professional lol
DeleteNot the best western I've watched either ...lol 😉. I hope you are having a lovely weekend! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteNot one I'll watch again, that's certain ;)
