Sam Elliott is absolutely brilliant as a Western icon who gets diagnosed with cancer and comes to terms with the people he loves…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Michael Fairbanks (50) for The Young Folks (1,024) on 11 Feb 2017

The film itself is as understated as the western stars it so clearly idolizes. Always consistent but never quite breaking out into anything different…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Fred Topel (1,193) for We Live Entertainment (357) on 04 Feb 2017

The Hero is a great vehicle for Sam Elliott. He fully commits to the performance but the script is very contrived drama…

A great star-turn from the perennially underrated Sam Elliot…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

Alas, the movie mostly falls apart when it has to start putting an actual story together, presenting and resolving conflicts, that kinda thing…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Jon Frosch (191) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 28 Jan 2017

Luckily, Elliott succeeds in pulling you into Lee's emotional orbit and holding you there even when the movie falters…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for Indiewire (3,631) on 28 Jan 2017

With Elliott front and center of every scene, The Hero pulls off the kind of acting showcase that its fictional star can never achieve…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Matt Joseph (48) for We Got This Covered (2,391) on 28 Jan 2017

Anchored by a top-notch performance from its lead, The Hero surpasses its cliches and becomes an ideal vehicle for its star. In Sam Elliot we trust…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Peter Debruge (1,557) for Variety (12,700) on 28 Jan 2017

Haley and Basch have mistaken what the AARP calls “movies for grownups” for a kind of mushy feel-good pablum, throwing together a handful…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 28 Jan 2017

It’s as if Haley viewed his star’s strengths — laconic wit, unforced masculinity, polite romanticism — as the only elements needed…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Nick Allen (397) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 28 Jan 2017

Haley's movie is marred by a clear limit to its poetry, and the way it has little tact with references to the title star…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Sara Stewart (700) for New York Post (6,650) on 26 Jan 2017

Elliott's a master of understatement, and just watching him stare off into the distance, mulling mortality with a weathered cowboy stance,…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Dan Mecca (208) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 25 Jan 2017

The cancer-diagnosis plot device is certainly well-worn and can often be viciously maudlin, but Haley does well in utilizing it as a means…

Review of The Hero (2017)

This particular movie allows us a profound, sweet glimpse into this man's dreams, and in a world dominated by explosively loud cinema, this…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Salt Lake Tribune (1,927) on 24 Jan 2017

Sam Elliott proves he's more than just a rugged Western icon in The Hero, a lovely comedy-drama about a lifetime of achievement…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Katie Walsh (1,279) for The Playlist (3,871) on 22 Jan 2017

The Hero feels looser, more abstract, and more symbolically ambitious than the winsome “I’ll See You In My Dreams,” and at times you…
