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. Mar 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. Feb 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. Feb 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. Mar 1, 2019 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

What it lacks is a distinct perspective; for all its period details and solid acting, the underlying message about this time in Texas oil history - that it was right, that it was wrong, that it was necessary - is lacking. Feb 28, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

In terms oil men like those depicted here would have understood... turns out to be a dry hole. Feb 25, 2019 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

Gerry De Leon's screenplay ... rarely, if ever, stops to examine the narrative beyond the surface of its melodramatic events. Feb 21, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Like the film's central character, these folks had a dream so big that only those wide-open spaces could contain it, but unlike him, they mostly found the right way to see it through. Feb 21, 2019 | Rating: 7.5/10 | Full Review…

Ambious but drab oil field epic build on a choppy, soapy script - "Dallas" as a period piece where the hero is actually the villain, and not exactly a riveting presence. Jan 27, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…
