A
"Billy the Kid is an unforgettable, distressing, riveting snapshot of a boy and his world; a high-speed descent into pure impulse that should not be missed."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

C+
"In the end, it's the absent father figure that hobbles the story of a decent kid unable to edit himself for better or for worse."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

"What makes Billy the Kid extraordinary is not that it grants seeming access to private moments, but that it makes clear as well the inherently public nature of the filmmaking process."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

3/4
"Billy suggests Child is Waiting's autistic Rueben, only having been given a chance at a normal life by a mother who never succumbed to the shame that grips Gena Rowland's Sophie throughout Cassavetes's drama."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

C+
"... a window into the world of adolescence, where everything is immediate and intense and important."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
