George Stevens' mythic 1953 Western finally gets a video transfer that captures the crisp, bright beauty of its Oscar-winning cinematography. [17 Aug 2000, p.D3]
Few Westerns examine the depths of human feeling, but this film by George Stevens is one of them, and it has since become a cinematic landmark. [13 Feb 2020, p.29]
Shane is one of those movies that I revisit at least once a year, just to remind myself how stirring a Western can be when the mix of myth and method is just right. [21 June 2002, p.C8]
This George Stevens film is over-planned and uninspired: Westerns are better when they're not so self-importantly self-conscious.

Incredible movie, one of the best Westerns of all time. It is so good.
Also one of the best movie I have ever seen.

A classic western movie with a good story and beautiful landscape. Also the ryker gang is very mean and their evil actions are more psychological than through killing.
But the pace is sometimes too slow.

The corrector of injustices, now unfounded in cowboy garb. There is nothing better than an old school western, and with what makes it typical: the tavern brawl, to go no further. Good option for a weekend.
