Critic Reviews for Savage State

All Critics (10) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (6)

  • While it has an undeniable curiosity factor, the film has merit as a sprawling and effective work that combines the expected action beats with quieter, character-driven moments, and elements of pure weirdness to surprisingly strong effect.

    Peter Sobczynski

    RogerEbert.com

  • Writer-director David Perrault squanders the potential of his early scenes as he allows his film to devolve into an incoherent genre mashup.

  • A fascinating oddity: An unconventional western dominated by the desires of women.

    Jeannette Catsoulis

    New York Times

  • Features individual scenes that are gorgeous and intriguing, but it doesn't add up to more than its surface attractions.

    Peter Martin

    ScreenAnarchy

  • There is a good film in here, but it ultimately gets lost in the overly long run time.

    Emilie Black

    Cinema Crazed

  • History buffs might be intrigued by the fresh Civil War perspective of this stylish bilingual Western, although the lack of narrative momentum makes it more tedious than thrilling.
