The unknown cast is aces, and Moshe inscribes his loquacious film in the Western tradition without overdoing the references to the classics. Read full review

Nothing about Dead Man's Burden reeks of homage to oaters of yore -- instead, Moshé has made a legitimate entry in a genre he clearly adores. Read full review

Dead Man’s Burden (the directorial debut of Jared Moshé) demonstrates just why film is important, simply by being beautiful. But beyond that, it’s also a moody, violent, classic, yet modern Western. Read full review

It's always a pleasure to encounter genre ambition contained in such a sinewy-shot, emotionally resonant, and gorgeously photographed package. Read full review

When you watch the movie, you’ll know more about these characters than they know about each other. But Moshe, who also wrote the script, brings the truth to light in dramatically satisfying ways. Read full review

Despite visual nods to dozens of classic Westerns, the film cannot break through with its own vision. Read full review

It is obvious this is an independent flick but it is a great one. Well acted, simple but not too simple, the characters are believable and the story is good. And it had a great ending.
