"a mystic trip through political, religious and philosophical terrains, gunning down all normative notions of what the western - or indeed Western civilisation - is supposed to be."
Eye for Film
Anton Bitel
4/5
"haunting and haunted, flitting at the edges of Jodorowsky's masculine fantasy"

"Everything about this mystical trip smacks of narcissism, even the scenes where the filmmaker is lowering himself in acts of self-deprecation."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
5/5
"The surrealist filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky created his own midnight cult version of the Spaghetti Western which, once seen, is not easily forgotten. Some of his macabre and mystical images linger, both fascinating and strange."
Flipside Movie Emporium
Jeremiah Kipp
"Message to Allen Klein: please put this film back into official release."
Film Threat
Phil Hall
"The film is a veritable grab-bag of traits that may appeal to different viewers. As a whole, the film is likely to provide faults as well as triumphs."
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
8/10
"While I truly do doubt that modern viewer will have much use for Jodorowsky's dated spiritual philosophy, the style with wich he expresses that philosophy is often quite exciting."
