Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Nov 3, 2019
"Badland" is ultimately too beholden to the past to be as energized as it should be. Go to Full Review
Joe Leydon Variety Nov 1, 2019
Justin Lee's indie Western should satisfy genre enthusiasts with a strong cast and an entertaining spin on a familiar story. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media Apr 24, 2020
3/5
With a low-budget, low-energy feel, this Western gets off to a wobbly start, but thanks to several great veteran performers, it soon finds an even, laconic tone that should please fans of the genre. Go to Full Review

2.5/5

Adam Mock Film Inquiry Nov 2, 2019
Given a few more passes on the script, take out the chapter brakes and maybe punch up the action, Badland could have been a modern-day cowboy flick worth the near two hour run time. Go to Full Review
Alex Saveliev Film Threat Nov 2, 2019
6/10
Lee's film never escapes its B-movie roots, nor does it try to, embracing its own pompousness. Go to Full Review
