Published 2024-05-20
Kevin Costner's new Western epic 'Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1' is being slammed by critics following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. 'Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1' is the first film in writer, director & star Costner's massive four-picture gamble that he famously leveraged one of his homes to help finance, spending $38 million out of pocket for the $90 million-budgeted film. And while the movie received a 10-minute standing ovation at Cannes, the reviews so far have been overwhelmingly negative.

    The 10 minute standing ovation says more than any critic
  • @maxx1mus1041
    To hell with critics just buy a ticket and make up your own dam mind
  • @raudeloruna2600
    Reasons why the critics hate it: 1) This new generation of critics hate any type of "Americana" filmmaking. 2) Not enough diversity probably. 3) The length and scope is too much for their Tik Tok brains.
  • I would hope all adult have learned that the "critics" have no idea what they are talking about or have their opinions bought.
  • @FilmDesire
    HELL YEAH! Epic candle burn slow westerns are what built cinema! nothing but love for Costner for using his wealth to keep them alive.
  • @Lepidopterous.
    Critics are often self-important and out of touch. Many reviews I read from them are more focused on making an argument than on giving a down-to-earth & comprehensible assessment of what they just watched.
  • @KadeemG61
    It’s coming out next month and we’ll wait for the critic reviews to show up. But, c’mon THR. It’s Kevin Costner.
  • @gabemorris6692
    The same critics who praise The Acolyte? That makes Horizon a must-see!
  • @tc397
    If the critics say negative things that means it is a truly great movie 💃😊
  • @Jennifer-ul2vz
    Wouldn't miss it Mr.Costner..You've put your heart and soul into telling this story..Can't wait.😊
  • @jokingatheist
    Critics bombing the movie not because they are critics but more because they are activists. I would take ZERO stock of what any of them have to say.
  • Un grandissimo attore e regista . Un attore che sta fuori dalle pagliacciate e dallo star system Hollywoodiano. I suoi film sopratutto i western evidenziano le ingiustizie che hanno subito i nativi indiani.
  • @CatholicSamurai
    Saw it on Friday night. Absolutely astounding. Hands-down must-see cinema, I’ll probably buy another ticket to see it again
  • @greyinvader
    C'mon, it can't be that bad. Michael Rooker is in it!
  • @nicknat1086
    Man, i swear u guys are jealous of this man
  • I love kevin Costner, but these standing ovations that last more than a minute are beyond ridiculous.
  • I'm going. Only three movies I plan on watching in 2024: Dune and the two Horizon movies
  • @westxranchin
    If the critics don’t like it that means it’s probably a masterpiece. They’ve all complained about movies not being woke enough over the last nine years. you’ll look at the rotten tomatoes scores and the critic scores will be 1 star in audience scores will be 5 stars. These critics live in a bubble they know nothing.
