Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Reviews
Butch Cassidy is a visually beautiful film to gaze upon.

Credit must go to the Oscar-winning trio of William Goldman, Conrad Hall and Burt Bacharach for the witty script, luminous photography and jaunty score respectively, but all of the charm of this ever-popular picture lies with the charismatic outlaws.

After a few minutes of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, I began to get that depressed feeling, and, after a half hour, felt rather offended.

It was produced and released during the American New Wave and the aesthetic and narrative choices Hill and Goldman made were spot on. They took a “sacred cow” genre and infused it with a new perspective; a jolt that resulted in an instant classic.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 15, 2024
In more ways than one, this simple story leaves complexity and nuance to its characters. They do the heavy lifting, and they look great doing it among a sea of creative cinematography from Conrad Hall.

It's lighthearted and likeable, a cool, 1960s spin on a genre that at the time had become a little tired.

Some classic moments; the middle section, with the superposse revealing themselves and relentlessly chasing our heroes, is top-notch.
| Original Score: B+ | Nov 29, 2022
Could it be that “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” hasn’t aged well or are there some legitimate issues that have always been there?
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2022
Busch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a perfectly harmless and quite entertaining film.

A most unusual, quirky, eccentric Western biography.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 24, 2020
Quite simply, the most entertaining Hollywood film around.

The film is a raffish, good humored ballad with Butch and Sundance as a pair of lovable rogues -- a Bonnie and Clyde to a ragtime beat.

It's a hilarious film with some surprising dark moments...it's a damn good one.
| Original Score: A- | Sep 7, 2018
Such an amiable and ingenious movie that it seems curmudgeonly to get on any critical high horse.
| Jul 13, 2018
It is a great film and will be an exceptionally popular and profitable one.

You have to admire the craft and assurance of the thing even as its artificiality hits you in the face.

Funny and poignant tale of two famous outlaws.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 2, 2011
The pairing of the roguish desperadoes Paul Newman as Butch Cassidy and Robert Redford as the Sundance Kid was magical.
