Critics Consensus

Led by a reliably solid performance from Tim Blake Nelson, Old Henry serves up a supple cut of vintage western rawhide.

C-

A mediocre film might be excused somewhat by the merit of some ambition, but the problem with "Old Henry" is that there isn't enough of that, either.

2.5/5

As it stands, there's a healthy amount to admire and for some it may be enough to scratch a certain itch. But much of Old Henry feels a lot like its protagonist: worn-out, weathered, and old.

4/5

Tim Blake Nelson shines in Old Henry, a riveting, slow-burning western that pays homage to the great classics from the past while also reviving the genre.

4.5/5

Built with the patience of a goldsmith, the story is dry, as economical as his characters, and direct: a tough nut to crack for eager viewers. [Full review in Spanish]
