McCabe is simply one of the most poetic and beautiful films ever made. [18 Feb 1994]
They say that great actors are never knowingly caught acting; Altman's best movies are similarly effortless - experiences to be lived in, rather than simply watched.
The film’s air of doom isn’t what some would call romantic, but as in The English Patient, it heightens the leads’ ardor.
A truly great western.
Still Robert Altman's best moment, this 1971 antiwestern murmurs softly of love, death, and capitalism.
McCabe & Mrs. Miller is less a deromanticized Western than an emasculated one. It’s a de-pantsing, really, of the strong, silent men who have long dominated the genre. Drop a stronger, louder woman into their midst, and they’re done.
I don't automatically object to contemporary allusions, but I prefer to find them myself, and McCabe and Mrs. Miller is so busy pointing them out to us that the effect is to undercut its narrative drive and the dignity of its fiction.
