There’s an elegant severity to the natural elements that share the frame with the movie’s characters, manifested in silhouettes against vast cloudy skies, delicate snowfalls, shafts of light in dark interiors and crisp air filled with smoke and dust.

Times (UK)

The film feels even more grim because guns and their use for violence are the predominant motifs in this 1880s-set western...

Rated: 2/5

The fact that Hutchins’ work here is the best thing the movie has going for it only compounds both the irony and the tragedy.

Rust doesn’t reinvent the wheel or break new ground like, say, Unforgiven. But for an indie movie marred by tragedy, the outcome is sturdy, enhanced by strong turns by Travis Fimmel and, yes, Alec Baldwin.

Rated: 3/5

Rust” makes for a passable Western sojourn that will forever be steeped in tragic ignominy.

Rated: 2.5/4

It’s a sad irony that the best thing about “Rust” is its atmospheric cinematography.

Rated: 3/5

Ive seen the word mediocre used to describe the picture. Its not one Id use. Travis Fimmel (Mr. Lang) and Josh Hopkins (Wood) stand out in an already very good ensemble. Its wonderful to see a very mannered Frances Fisher once again in distress regarding one of her offspring. Nice settings and production design. Lovely score. And yes many shots are a painful reminder that well not see Hutchinsons lending on a new film again. The family relation between Rust, Mrs. Bassett, her sister et al. was a little hard for me to follow. But theres family trauma poignance here regardless.
