Cockfighter Ratings & Reviews
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
...if you can stomach the poultry carnage and bleak gender dynamics (Frank's voiceover-narration sendoff to discarded girlfriend Laurie Bird is particularly nasty), it's a singular slice of vintage Americana...
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Hellman embraces, with visual nuance, a world of back roads and forests, grim motels and ramshackle arenas, and he approaches the intricacies of the subculture ... with a cool Hemingwayesque moralism.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
This is a blood and guts art film with unforgettable intensity and stark scenes that few films have managed to capture with such fervor.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The movie works once again because of Hellman's fascination with the subculture and its various characters, and because of Oates' brilliant performance, registering his excitement and loss solely with his eyes.
