New York PostSara StewartJul 14, 2016
Outlaws and Angels isn’t perfect — Murray mumbles into his beard way too much — but Eastwood sure is at ease with a cowboy hat and revolver. Clearly, she’s studied with the best. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniJul 14, 2016
It seems another member of Clint Eastwood's brood is ready for stardom. Francesca Eastwood, 22, his daughter with actor Frances Fisher, is one of the bright lights in writer-director JT Mollner's otherwise uneven feature debut. Read full review

VarietyDennis HarveyJun 20, 2016
Outlaws & Angels trades in the lurid character psychology and crude ironies of the spaghetti Western — an idiom whose cynical worst-case-scenario view of humanity seems more acceptable to modern audiences than the good-shall-triumph faith of the traditional Hollywood western. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloJul 13, 2016
The main problem with Outlaws And Angels, though, is that it lacks either a sense of authenticity or a streak of playfulness to give shape to its relentlessly ugly worldview. Read full review

The Film StageJohn FinkJun 20, 2016
Narrative risks aside, Outlaws and Angels takes the easy way out instead of allowing these moments the breathing room they need. Read full review

IndieWireSteve GreeneJul 16, 2016
Between the setting, the production design and a majority of the cast, Outlaws and Angels has the individual pieces to be something of merit. This particular revenge tale isn’t an example of incompetent filmmaking, just sadly misfocused storytelling. Read full review

Village VoiceApril WolfeJul 14, 2016
Despite worthy performances from the entire cast, this movie’s a prime example of a director admiring some great movies but only having a cursory, superficial understanding of what it was that made them work. Read full review

The New York TimesDaniel M. GoldJul 14, 2016
The sensibility is more grindhouse gore than spaghetti western, perhaps hoping to mine the same vein as Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight,” but lacking Mr. Tarantino’s lively dialogue and wicked sense of humor. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayJul 14, 2016
While Mollner elicits some strong performances — especially from Francesca Eastwood as a vengeful farmer’s daughter — Outlaws and Angels can’t overcome its distractingly showy camera moves or its tendency toward scenes that drag on interminably. Read full review

The PlaylistMichael GarmonswayJul 16, 2016
In trying to include as much as it does, ‘Outlaws’ finds itself as more of tonal soup than a cohesive narrative feature. Read full review

RogerEbert.comNick AllenJul 15, 2016
A movie hopped up on the period piece sadism within Tarantino’s regurgitation cinema, Outlaws & Angels gravely mistakes Tarantino’s audaciousness for its own originality. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJun 30, 2016
Worst of all is this 85-minute-story-in-a-two-hour-movie’s lack of urgency. Read full review

ObserverRex ReedJul 13, 2016
No need to get worked up about Outlaws and Angels, a vile, nauseating and incomprehensible pile of saddles-and-spurs gibberish sane audiences will undoubtedly avoid at all costs. Read full review
