Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
For all its intended depth and psychological realism, which at its best carries reminders of the work of Terrence Malick, there's a fake myth-making quality to it that, because of its inordinate length, could be mistaken for grandeur.
London Evening Standard
Rating: 4/4 --
An essential American Western that deserves to be ranked among the greats.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
Rating: 10/10 --
Stands as perhaps the greatest inquiry into the myth of the "Old West."

The Young Folks
Moseying along for 160 minutes, this revisionist western by writer-director Andrew Dominik makes a wan attempt to present the Jesse James legend as the dawn of celebrity culture in America.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 4/4 --
Examining the transient nature of memories and mythmaking, "Coward" understands there are as many crooked legacies in high definition, as there were 130 years ago in dog-eared dime-store paperbacks and ghoulish stage productions.

The Film Yap
Rating: 2/5 --
Compared to Walter Hill's 1980 movie The Long Riders, also about the James gang, this feels an underpowered affair. Indeed, compared to Dominik's own previous movie, Chopper (2000), it is impossibly meek.

Independent (UK)
Imperfect, beautiful, overloaded and redundant, it is one of those films that will still be remembered and analyzed in ten years. [Full Review in Spanish]
