Entertainment Reviews:
While I won't say that I loved the film (it retains enough of its genre's tropes to not quite work for me), I was surprised by how glorious the sets and landscapes looked.

Desist Film
The strangest western ever made in Hollywood, a screaming opera of Freudian signs, a camp genre nova of colour-codings, and epic battle for gender supremacy played out in a dream landscape of cowboys and outlaws and sexually maddened frontier women...
Sight and Sound
Rating: 5/5 --
Unforgettably strange and brilliant.

Guardian
Double-crosses, beautiful losers, gunplay and waterfalls and fire and whiskey, it's all here.

Patheos
The acidulous palette of the costumes and the décor conjure Ray's insolent, isolated fury; though the action is set in the nineteenth century, the actors break out of the story to foreshadow the stylishly electric revolutions to come.

New Yorker
Ranked #14 in Uncut's Best DVDs Of 2005 -- Ray's film harbours a bold critique of the US's then-raging anti-Communist witchhunts.
Uncut
Joan Crawford's Vienna is the most masculine of women western heroes. A former saloon girl who earned her way to owning her own gambling house, she's a mature woman with a history and she's not ashamed of what she did to carve out her claim for a future.

Product Description:
An off-kilter but intriguingly sensational western about a lady saloon-keeper who learns her wealth and power can't buy everything as a town full of jealous monsters try to overrun her property. Women wear the pants (and guns) in this pre-feminist exercise in gender neutrality.
