Reviews


75
Consequence of Sound - Danielle Solzman
Moshe’s approach turns the Western genre on its head by having the sidekick rise up as the hero.
70
Variety - Joe Leydon
Writer-director Jared Moshé’s solidly entertaining period drama...can be enjoyed as both a straight-shooting homage to crotchety sidekicks and shoot-’em-up conventions, and a well-crafted movie about loyalty, betrayal, and redemption.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
Having already given us a shootout or two, the film grows more involving as Lefty fights for both his life and his good name. Pullman has no trouble making the character sympathetic, even as he maintains the near-ineptitude Lefty's known for.
70
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
This is a satisfying indie western, a dark and brooding film made with both a modern touch and real love for the genre.
67
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
By giving the spotlight to an archetype usually relegated to the background, writer-director Jared Moshé puts a revisionist spin on the familiar oater, but everything else about The Ballad of Lefty Brown is by the book.
