A wonderfully strange and beguiling adventure story

- Variety

A complex tone of tragedy and uplift at the same time… Inspirational and devastating at once

- Indiewire

Pattinson is the movie’s most surprising, off-kilter and delightful element.

- Los Angeles Times

Boy, does Damsel really blossom. Pattinson gives a hilariously oddball performance.

- New York Post

REFRESHINGLY ORIGINAL. A knuckleball spin on the old west.

- Variety

DELIGHTFUL. Mia Wasikowska can do no wrong.

- New York Magazine

Turns the classic western into something wackily eccentric and entertainingly original.
