A world-weary cowboy attempts to find redemption by teaching a boy what it means to be a good man.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 19, 2024

The story mainly fuses two film genres such as the road movie with the western, since we will observe this peculiar couple made up of an older man - an icon of one of the North American emblems such as the rodeo - and a Mexican teenager...

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Aug 16, 2024

Westerns often have an oversimplified plot that gives more space for the protagonists to develop and drive the story. Cry Macho attempts to do just that but fails on many levels.

Cry Macho is a slow, sweet story with outstanding cinematography that leaves viewers with the melancholy of a sunset, but it’s not a film that one must rush to see.

There aren't any injustices to rectify or honors to avenge in Cry Macho, but rather, personal quests about what one needs - beyond what one thinks one deserves. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 31, 2023

Cry Macho? If anything, you’ll be crying tears of boredom...

| Nov 12, 2022

Cry Macho is an incredibly monotonous buddy road trip film with nothing to say of any substantive value.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 9, 2022

The storytelling stakes may be quite low, but there is still a pay-off to collect that most will find satisfying.

| Sep 8, 2022

Slow, bland, and dull, "Cry Macho" is competently put together by an admirable Clint Eastwood, but it's the very definition of forgettable.

| Original Score: 4/10 | May 18, 2022

If this is 91-year-old Clint Eastwood's swansong, it's a fitting finale.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 21, 2022

There's not much nuance or dimension to the movie, but like Mike, and often Eastwood, it gets the job done - only now it's a little slower, a little blander, and decidedly less memorable.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 13, 2022

Cry Macho is not raising the blood pressure as one might expect from a movie directed by Clint Eastwood, but its certainly a beautiful swan song.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 4, 2022

Cry Macho is far from Eastwoods best work, but a skilled director on an off day can still be worth watching.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2022

Just tag this one every which way but interesting.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 11, 2021

Cry Macho very obviously suffers from its lack of relentlessness.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 1, 2021

Nobody has turned getting old into a project like Eastwood has, the weariness deepening while the swagger fades like a mirage, leaving him frailer, more exposed and more recognisably human. But still Clint, still the myth.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 30, 2021

Cry Macho deserves credit for putting Eastwood in the saddle again and showing that he still looks great in a cowboy hat. But, ultimately, that makes it all the more frustrating because it doesn't actually do anything worthwhile with him or the character.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 24, 2021

More successful is the gentle, dusty momentum that sets out its stall against desert backdrops south of the border, open highways, and two chalk and cheese characters coming to an arrangement.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 19, 2021

The story plays out with a steady pace that holds the attention. If only the writing were more up to scratch, because the script is painfully obvious about each element in the story, never developing badly needed resonant subtext.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 18, 2021

Cry Macho often punches far above the underwhelming writing at the heart of it.
