Total Film - Unnamed
Refracted through Holly’s naive, emotionally flat narration and Malick’s poetic visual style, this familiar tale is transformed into something strange and oddly beautiful. [29 Aug. 2008]

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The movie makes no attempt to psychoanalyze its Kit Carruthers, and there are no symbols to note or lessons to learn. What comes through more than anything is the enormous loneliness of the lives these two characters lived, together and apart.

Empire - Unnamed
Achingly evocative of a time when Hollywood had the courage to invest in complex and morally ambiguous films and an indisputable masterpiece of American cinema. [26 May 2003]

San Francisco Chronicle - Peter Stack
Among the great American crime movies, 1973's Badlands stands alone. [13 Feb. 1998]

The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
An unmissable, transcendentally beautiful classic. [28 Aug. 1998]
