"This is the best film the Coen brothers have done since their glory days of Fargo and The Big Lebowski, maybe the best they've done, period."
Wall Street Journal
"A masterly tale of the good, the deranged and the doomed that inflects the raw violence of the west with a wry acknowledgement of the demise of codes of honour, this is frighteningly intelligent and imaginative."
Time Out
"The Coen brothers' singular mythic masterwork."
Houston Chronicle
