Empire Adam Smith

Newman is at his very best, and the cinematography is backing him up every step of the way. Must-see material. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

The film is on the level, and the four principal actors—Newman, Neal, Douglas, and de Wilde—are so good that they might well form the nucleus of a cinematic repertory company. The point of the picture is as dry and nihilistic as a Panhandle dust storm. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Newman's performance is unquestionably the best thing about this brutal portrait of humanity. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Pretensions are kept nicely damped down by the performances (all four principals are great) and by Wong Howe's magnificent camerawork. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Hud is a near miss. Where it falls short of the mark is in its failure to filter its meaning and theme lucidly through its characters and story. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Paul Newman in his first ascendancy, as the favorite antihero of the Kennedy era. Martin Ritt directed, putting a little too much dust in the dust bowl for my taste. Read full review

Ed Gonzalez

Remarkably dull Hud more or less plays out as a home-on-the-range knock-off of Nicholas Ray’s brilliant Rebel Without a Cause. Read full review
