Meek's Cutoff Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Imagine a collaboration between John Ford and Wallace Stevens and you might get a sense of what Kelly Reichardt pulls off here: a sincere re-creation of the pioneer experience, brought to life through careful, often unexpected detail.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Greatly enhanced by the performances of Michelle Williams and Bruce Greenwood, director Kelly Reichardt's film quietly becomes engrossing - it almost sneaks up on you.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A mesmerizing cinematic journey that is often as arduous and spare as the lives of its hard-bitten protagonists.
Detroit News
Tom Long
This is the sort of film critics love to praise because the filmmaker has done good work before; and well, there must be something there. Well, there's not.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Thanks to brilliant directorial decisions matched by a cast that was clearly inspired by this unique effort, this will surely be one of the most memorable films of 2011.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Those with the courage to explore uncharted territory will be rewarded with a rough gem of a movie.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"Meek's Cutoff" is more an experience than a story.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
If you allow its windswept silences to work on you, "Meek's Cutoff" gathers its own snakelike sense of momentum...
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
This revisionist Western -- intellectually, aesthetically, and narratively absorbing -- rattles to the bone, but never quite rends the heart.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Boring.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Vast and mysterious, the American West of Kelly Reichardt and Jonathan Raymond's "Meek's Cutoff" is not quite like any other landscape.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The cinematography, by Chris Blauvelt, captures the rugged landscapes and rainless skies with a homespun elegance.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Told largely in long shot, it's a painfully, beautifully slow film, which is understandable given the time, place, and situation.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Williams also starred in Reichardt's last, and best, film, Wendy and Lucy, and she clearly has a special affinity for the director, for whom she shows off her subtlest shades.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Amounts to a master class in the power of observation.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
Reichardt has stripped "Meek's" down to bare essentials and careful emotions. The cast captures that quality beautifully - like the water that is running out, everything is conserved.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Reichardt trusts her audience, encourages her viewers to feel comfortable in the stillness and the quiet, and to draw their own conclusions from an ending that's as profound as it is enigmatic.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Under Oregon skies, there's political subtext for the taking in this terrific, unsettling film.
The New Yorker
David Denby
It's a pleasureless, anti-sensuous aesthetic, but the movie, in its thorny, grudging way, is stirring, with many startling details.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Reichardt's westward-ho is a world of confusion, geographical and moral, a dislocation beyond the remedy of water or Bibles.
