It's hard not to wonder if Duvall got passed over for a role in Last Vegas and, not to be outdone by that snake Kevin Kline, decided to make the Western version instead.

The director Emilio Aragon wisely trains the camera on Mr. Duvall. "A Night in Old Mexico" is his baby, and he rocks it.

Daniel M. Gold, New York Times
Rotten

The movie doesn't have the same kind of emotional depth that Duvall and Wittliff managed to pull off decades ago. Worse, the dialogue often sounds stilted.

Stephanie Merry, Washington Post

This poky, cliched, slackly told picture, directed by Emilio Aragon, would've felt dated a few decades ago; now it feels like a downright relic.

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

Not a second of this feels real, but at least we see Duvall croon "Mexicali Rose."
