Review For Movie Ain't Them Bodies Saints
A slow, banjo-string-tight thriller ... Bodies gets under your skin and stays there.Cath Clarke-Time Out
This Sundance-sanctioned, love-on-the-run melodrama is indie filmmaking of a deliberately timeless sort.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Writer-director David Lowery strains for poetry at every turn, and only the strain registers.
Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader
Lowery has a lyrical style of storytelling that is delicate and subtle yet suffused with emotion and atmosphere. It's gentle and pointed at the same time.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
It is not a large film. But Lowery may well be a large talent, and he sure knows how to cast the right actors.
Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune
Lowery has a way with actors, though. As a local sheriff with an eye for Ruth, Ben Foster is excellent and, in a too-small role as a grizzled shopkeeper, Keith Carradine proves himself yet again to be one of our finest performers.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
With a dark, storybook mood set firmly in the mode of Terrence Malick's Badlands, or perhaps even Andrew Dominik's The Assassination of Jesse James, Lowery flips the Bonnie & Clyde paradigm on its ear.
Travis Hopson-Examiner.com
Armed with blistering performances, an engaging narrative and some stunning cinematography and direction, it may very well end up being one of the best of the year
Eric Eisenberg-CinemaBlend.com
The well-acted film is rich in visual texture and subtle details, and its deliberate pace rewards viewer patience.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Lyrical reverie of all feeling and no action.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A Bonnie & Clyde-informed tale of passion amid the criminal class, it's a film of considerable visual beauty, even lyricism.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
Even during its moments of unapologetic pastiche, David Lowery's Ain't Them Bodies Saints is an absorbing drama, nuanced and emotionally evocative.
John Serba-MLive.com
The film has a dreamlike tone that's very, very sleepy. But it's also haunting and darkly moving.
Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall
Not perfect and its dense quality isn't for everyone, but for the things it does right, and the performances it elicits, it's still special.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
An outlaw saga of undying love distilled to its emotional essence, as if it were something to be inhaled or applied to the skin, to work at the level of the blood and bypass the cynical defenses of the intellect...
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
The astute use of folk and bluegrass defines the palette of this film as much as the acting or the cinematography.
Mark Kermode-Observer [UK]
Beautifully presented and skillfully acted, "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" is a small, solid drama featuring strong performances and picture post card photography
Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes
If you're in the mood to pay homage to the 'new wave' of directors of the 1970s, instead of sitting through the latest in a long line of superhero movie sequels, this should be richly rewarding.
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
Lowery falls back on a number of clichés in his indie romance-cum-Western, drowning the actors in melancholy sunshine and letting them mumble like mad. What he gets right are the characters.
Charlotte O'Sullivan-This is London
Lowery focuses on melancholy moods, inner turmoil and the golden glow of cornfields to create an earnest, leisurely tale of lost souls and last chances.
Allan Hunter-Daily Express
David Lowery's Sundance hit, which wears its Badlands rags unashamedly, plays as if dragged up from the muddy depths of folk memory.
Tara Brady-Irish Times
If it is a homage, this is an intelligent and accomplished one, a conscientious matching-up of style and substance.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
Plays like a note-perfect Terrence Malick pastiche thanks to assured direction from writer-director David Lowery, though the languid pacing, lack of plot and ill-defined supporting characters are occasionally frustrating.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
There is a completely numbing sense that this really is a lost Terrence Malick - that this was done a long time ago, and that cinema's cupboards are empty and there is no new stuff to make in a new way.
Antonia Quirke-Financial Times
Although set in the 1970s, this dramatic thriller has a distinctly Western vibe to it, digging into the darker emotional corners of characters who are trying to make it through life on their own terms.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
Lowery's film has a solid, grounded storyline, rooted in crime thrillers and film noir tradition.
David Gritten-Daily Telegraph
