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.

The movie doesn't seem to be playing near you.

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. Mar 8, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It succeeds sporadically as a corrective anti-myth, but as a story about people, it fails to come to life. Mar 8, 2019 | Full Review…

"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. Mar 8, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

Simultaneously wants to humanize and mythologize its cowboys - and neither effort works. Mar 8, 2019 | Full Review…

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. Mar 8, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

The script is laden with painfully outdated representations and vacillates between snooze-inducing speechifying and bare-bones storytelling that doesn't elucidate a damn thing Mar 8, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4

The Kid follows an unusual narrative structure, lollygagging from one setting to another, and taking far too long to make its point. Apr 30, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…
