Cry Macho - Kritiken

Nonagenarian actor/director Clint Eastwood rides off a little further into the sunset in this contemporary Western...

The simple sincerity about what’s worthwhile in life is the movie’s reason for being.

There’s something touching about seeing the 91-year-old Eastwood in such a reflective mood.

His Mike is a man out of time: a lone-wolf reminder of a world that once was, and will most likely be lost when he goes. 

Eastwood’s back with a look at manliness filtered through the wisdom of aging. It makes the odd stultifying stop and falls into several cliché potholes, yet Cry Macho ultimately finds its way.

...dedikeret til at afmytologisere de westerntyper, Eastwood har brugt det meste af sin karriere på at portrættere og siden demaskere i sine film som instruktør.

...er både hanekamp og svanesang, og det giver alt sammen god mening.

...a precious movie.
