Critic Reviews

Its characters are as entertainingly quirky as any he's given us before, and his familiar themes -- strangers in a strange land, lives reformed by chance encounters -- are played out with much higher stakes and with greater purpose.Full Review

Jack Mathews
Los Angeles Times

Jarmusch's trademark quiet irony, affinity for the outcast and oddball, and moonscape visuals suit the Western genre well.Full Review

Maria Schneider
The Onion (A.V. Club)

Dead Man plays a lot of cards at the same time, and Jarmusch occasionally loses his rhythm when he allows his actors their improvisational riffs.Full Review

Edward Guthmann
San Francisco Chronicle

Filmed in black-and-white with an eerie score by Neil Young, and using contemporary dialogue and mannerisms, Jarmusch's picture has a dream-like quality.Full Review

James Berardinelli

It's not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination, just one that grabs your attention and then lets it go, time and time again.Full Review
