Outstanding film classic. Faye Dunaway gives a great performance - clearly her best. Dustin Hoffman is always good and doesn't disappoint here. Chief... Dan George gives a fine performance also. Movie entertainment ****** best. Full Review

Arthur Penn's Little Big Man is an endlessly entertaining attempt to spin an epic in the form of a yarn.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Little Big Man is a sort of vaudeville show, framed in fictional biography, loaded with sketches of varying degrees of serious and burlesque humor, and climaxed by the Indian victory over Gen George A. Custer at Little Big Horn in 1876.Full Review

The dual point of view is used effectively, though it's less valid as social criticism (where Penn's observations tend toward facile revisionism) than as an index of the uncertainty that characterizes most of Penn's heroes.Full Review
