A midmovie plot twist hands the narrative over to Mia Wasikowska as the sweetheart, and her committed performance seems out of place in this extended goof. March 4, 2020 | Full Review…

"Damsel" takes most of the elements you've ever seen in a Western and tweaks some, twists others and comes up with something unusual and mostly satisfying. July 5, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

"Damsel" owes just as much to the absurdist tone of the Coen brothers, possessing the same visual and verbal japery and, occasionally, absurdism for its own wearyingly ridiculous sake. June 28, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Damsel is designed to be a deliberately out-of-joint comedy about a woman forced to endure an exasperating ordeal. After two hours, I could relate. June 28, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Robert Pattinson as smooth and passionate with Mia Wasikowska as a powerhouse, but raving banshee, give unexpected performances. It's fun watching them horse around in this Western. August 13, 2019 | Full Review…

An off-kilter western about misplaced love that whilst not without its pleasures, ultimately struggles to overcome its abundance of creaky contrivances and absurdities. May 24, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Even with a bizarre public hanging and some animated shootings, the action scenes felt insipid, while the humor didn't improve. February 1, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

...it's unclear if the Zellners believe there's a tragic romance in wanting a woman who doesn't want you back or they understand that's just patriarchal BS. December 22, 2018 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…
