      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      With its iconic pairing of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, jaunty screenplay and Burt Bacharach score, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid has gone down as among the defining moments in late-'60s American cinema.

      Alec C This iconic duo manage to make the art of the Western so memorable! Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are a pair of outlaws known for hitting off some train robberies, only to end up on the run and hiding out in Bolivia, attempting to make a new life for themselves. This cowboy buddy-comedy manages to make the life of the outlaw an enjoyable watch that we love to see over and over again! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Maria O love it. A great classic western Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Pablo A One of the most fun westerns I've seen and a bromance that makes the movie even more enjoyable. It is a non-stop rollercoaster of emotions and adventures in the life of two bandits thanks to a phenomenal performance by the two leads. A beautifully scripted and shot movie. I can recommend this to people who are just looking for a couple of hours of enjoyable characters, beautiful shots and a compelling story. I will give a 9/10 for a Western, some aspects of the movie didn't work for me but subtract nothing from the overall greatness put on screen. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/20/23 Full Review Edward B This western movie had it all. Fats action, comedy, whimsical, intense, intrigue and fast gun play with two of the most dynamic male actors of their time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/17/23 Full Review Sahooon C Start by saying it's a western so sometimes the pacing is slow BUT having that variety of pacing does make a western good! It's got a good story, acting the action sequences are great (for the 60s). I'd recomend this as someones first Western. The only down side is if you HATE cliffhangers stay away! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Timothy D With Redford and Newman at the lead, this film has no choice but to charm. There are memorable one-liners, and the level pacing makes for easy viewing. Still, the plot stays too shallow to leave a lasting impression. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Pauline Kael New Yorker 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. Feb 5, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) It's lighthearted and likeable, a cool, 1960s spin on a genre that at the time had become a little tired. Apr 10, 2023 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com It's a hilarious film with some surprising dark moments...it's a damn good one. Rated: A- Sep 7, 2018 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times 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. Rated: 5/5 Mar 7, 2024 Full Review Michael Clark Epoch Times 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. Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 15, 2024 Full Review Courtney Lanning Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 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. Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
