Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

The chaotic, brutal iconography of Italian Westerns is put to novel use in this time-traveling, self-referential, hugely ambitious story of American brothers. Read full review

David Stratton

It's too arty to cut it as a violent action pic and too gore-spattered to appeal to the arthouse crowd. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Three movies in one: a spaghetti Western, an urban drama and a historical epic. All of them suffer from self-indulgent direction, a convoluted script and awkward acting. Read full review

Leslie Camhi

Manchevski has a rare visual intelligence, whether filming the face of a dying woman or Times Square's reflection in a windshield. But in reaching for a cubist style of storytelling, he sacrifices character and motivation. Read full review

David Sterritt

Its most impressive aspect is its visual style, patterned to some degree on Sergio Leone westerns. A picture this long and dense should work harder to be cogent and coherent, though. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Dust is a bust, a big bad movie of the scope, ambition and bravura that could be made only by a talented filmmaker run amok. Read full review

Megan Lehmann

Lurches so wildly and meaninglessly between genres and time frames that all it creates is motion sickness. Read full review
