Well-framed, well-cast, and well-intentioned, The Kid still largely fails to set itself apart from the multitude of other westerns covering similar territory. Read critic reviews

This has far, far too many soliloquies... The material itself isn't worthy of it.

First-time director D'Onofrio has as an admirable visual style, whether we get medium-long-shot takes or intimate close-ups. This is a good-looking period piece film, percolating with top-tier performances.

It succeeds sporadically as a corrective anti-myth, but as a story about people, it fails to come to life.

"The Kid" manages some picturesque shots of Western landscapes, and Hawke, who has hit a career stride in recent years, wouldn't know how to turn in a bad performance if he tried. But there's not enough here to make this journey worth taking.

Simultaneously wants to humanize and mythologize its cowboys - and neither effort works.

This relegation of female characters to the sidelines is depressing for a film released in 2019, especially because it seems entirely possible to have a film looking at masculinity without reducing women to archetypes.

Audience Reviews for The Kid

Jan 13, 2020Written and directed by Vincent D'Onofrio, The Kid is an entertaining western that looks at the gray area between law and morality. After killing his abusive father, Rio and his sister go on the run and end up hiding out with Billy the Kid and his gang, who are being hunted by a group of lawmen lead by Sheriff Garrett. Featuring Ethan Hawke, Dane DeHaan, Chris Pratt, and Adam Baldwin, the cast is pretty good and delivers some engaging performances. Additionally, the film does an impressive job at exploring the ambiguity of good and evil. Still, the plot is a little thin and doesn't go a lot into who Billy the Kid was. Yet despite a few weaknesses, The Kid is a compelling character drama.Dann M Super Reviewer
