Hostiles's reviews
Media reviews
Vulture
'Hostiles' is a brutal if well-intentioned film that doesn?t help its cause with its lack of development of its Native characters.
Variety
This impressively mounted, intellectually corrupt period piece isn?t your traditional Western, and clearly fancies itself a revisionist take on so many black-and-white us-vs.-them tales, in which unambiguously heroic white men protect their women and children from red-skinned enemies.
The Hollywood Reporter
Cooper's screenplay uses its setting both to employ classical Western tropes and to reflect in a modern way on history's legacy, both good and bad. It's a bit of a modern cliché to portray the Native Americans as wise ones of few words, and more vibrations might profitably have been set off between them and Pike, whose family, after all, has been decimated by them.
Indiewire
?Hostiles? iIs one of the most brutal Westerns ever made, but hardly one of the best.
