Reviews
There's much to say about it; the simplest is that it's both the most romantic of Westerns and the greatest American political movie.Richard Brody, New Yorker
Ford's purest and most sustained expression of the familiar themes of the passing of the Old West, the conflict between the untamed wilderness and the cultivated garden, and the power of myth.Nigel Floyd, Time Out
