Though there are some well-framed shots from cinematographer Mathieu Plainfossé, the script from Gerry De Leon and director Ty Roberts is lifeless, covered in a layer of dust that the cast can't rouse it from. March 1, 2019 | Full Review…

Seemingly nostalgic for a period when West Texas roughnecks settled scores with baseball bats and laid pipe with pickaxes, this lovingly made homage to avarice feels strangely limp. Instead of gushing, it trickles. February 28, 2019 | Full Review…

As competently put together as this movie is, it imparted to me no sense of a higher calling, and thus left me unmoved. February 22, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

If writer-director Ty Roberts doesn't exactly hit pay dirt, neither does he leave viewers completely empty-handed. July 27, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Thin but likable account of an oil wildcatter's rise and fall. Strong production values help offset cast and script issues. July 23, 2019 | Full Review…

A beautifully shot film of sunlight and sweat about the wildcatting days of the Texas oil boom that overcomes its storytelling deficiencies. July 23, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The movie should rise and fall on the fortunes - or misfortunes - of its protagonists. Yet, Roberts fails to take advantage of any of this. His movie is a flat and dry as his Texas terrain. July 22, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

It's obvious director Ty Roberts thinks he has an epic in his hands, but with underwritten characters and relationships, second-rate dialogue and an oil story that goes nowhere interesting, The Iron Orchard strikes nothing of substance. March 1, 2019 | Rating: C- | Full Review…
