Grant Watson Fiction Machine There is an extremely competent blending of tone and genre to Man Without a Star. When it wants to amuse, it is genuinely funny. When it wants to make a serious point, it is dramatic and intelligent. Rated: 7/10 •  Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia A rather progressive piece of filmmaking.
