Am I the only person in the world that thinks Penelope Cruz is way overrated? She was actually a bit believeable in this movie, but then she's a... thy Hispanic woman, not much of a stretch. Full Review

You can see how this movie could have been jacked up into a one-level action picture, but what makes it special is how Thornton modulates the material.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

An elegiac, visually hypnotic film about love, honor, reverence for nature and the loss of tradition.Full Review

Edward Guthmann
San Francisco Chronicle

The movie, for all its prettiness, manages to be shallow and portentous at the same time.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

In an odd way Pretty Horses has been too faithful to the spirit of this somber, fatalistic, melancholy romance, too much a stubborn ode to stoicism, to light any emotional fires.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

Thornton, writer-director of the superb "Slingblade," has a gift for depicting down-and-dirty scenes among men. And when our three principal characters go riding from Texas to Mexico, this is the best part of the movie.Full Review
