Wendy Ide Times (UK) Roger Deakins’s cinematography is as much a star of the film as any of the cast. Nov 21, 2023 Full Review Joe Sommerlad Independent (UK) The Coen Brothers are back with a triumphant return to form. Feb 28, 2018 Full Review Liz Hoggard London Evening Standard The lack of respect for the body, the sheer bloody aftermath depresses me. Yes, they may handle the killing with verve and ironic tension, but this is a Coen brothers film too far. Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) This is easily one of the best films the Coens have made, and it’s absolutely one of the greats we’ll remember for decades to come. Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies No Country for Old Men is in the top tier of the Coen Brothers filmography and is among the best films they have ever made. Rated: 5/5 Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand A model of simple, strong, evocative storytelling pared down to the bone, 'No Country' is filled with richly-drawn characters and an enthralling story that builds merciless momentum.

John M An absolute masterpiece. Compelling, terrifying and riveting. No Country For Old Men, like another Coen Brothers masterpiece "Blood Simple" takes the viewer for a white knuckle ride that shows no mercy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Coma L The movie is great overall and Anton may be the most frightening killer I've ever seen in a movie. Under this circumstances, this movie can definitely be regarded as a horror movie from my perspective. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Jasper M Violent and harsh but masterfully done. Great cast, great dialogues and unique characters. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Kauã M A unique film, perfect performances and the direction and script deliver a great 2 hours of experience. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Justin B The first half was great, even 2/3rds. Most pathetic ending to a movie I've ever seen. No closure really, and no showing of the big events, just have to assume what happened. Waste of time to watch, such a shame with such high caliber actors and the worst ending I've EVER seen. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Sams K absolutely perfect, one of the top 10 best movies of the 2000s. Must watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
