William Bibbiani TheWrap The Thicket is an awful story, in a great way. Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Rex Reed Observer Juliette Lewis steals the show in a bleak, action-heavy Western that lacks the depth to match its gritty visuals. Rated: 2/4 Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Craig D. Lindsey RogerEbert.com The unlimited amount of Sturm and Drang on display will turn away those looking for a fun, engaging shoot-’em-up. Rated: 2/4 Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Ventana Indiscreta It combines clichés with a well-crafted atmosphere and outstanding performances, especially from Juliette Lewis. Although the plot is not innovative, its execution and visual style make the film feel unique and effective. Full review in Spanish. Rated: 4/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Alan Zilberman Spectrum Culture Elliott Lester has a familiar plot and familiar archetypes, and yet The Thicket has virtually nothing new to say. It is an exercise for its own sake, and now that Westerns have existed as long as the movies themselves, that simply is not enough. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Manuel São Bento Movies We Texted About The Thicket is a Western that, despite offering an authentic atmosphere and strong performances from Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis, fails to fully explore its narrative and thematic potential. Rated: C+ Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Erin It was a really good movie. It had a really good plot and storyline.The actors and actresses did an excellent job. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Joseph S So fantastic. Dinklage is awesome, of course, but not even the best part. Levon Hawke is a revelation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Victor L Not sure why theres a lack of promotion for this movie. I didnt even know it was coming out. I saw it tonight and Im glad I did because its an exceptional film. The whole cast did great. Peter Dink stood out and really nailed this roll. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Laurie S Is there a psychiatrist in the house? I found Cut Throat Bill quite attractive. Seriously though, I thought it was quite a good film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review deanne Julia Lewis should win an Oscar for this role. She was superb. I loved hating her great western kept my attention on the edge of my seat the whole time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Moody C Very mid. Most of film has nothing happening which I’m fine as slow western but at least give us some compelling dialogue ala Tarantino’s Hateful Eight or Coen Bros’ version of True Grit. Climax is quite boring but the setting in icy cold winter is something different in this genre. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
