Rotten
Evan M. Wiener's screenplay throws in too many disparate elements without developing any of them very effectively, while Grau's direction is slick but unable to provide the tension or consistency needed.

A promising setup is left to wither in the intense Albuquerque sun permeating "Big Sky," a slack agoraphobic thriller marking the English-language debut of Mexican filmmaker Jorge Michel Grau.
Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
The film rests on the attractive but opaque Ms. Thorne, who is not ready for such weight.
Andy Webster, New York Times
Rotten
Big Sky masquerades as a psychological thriller, but underneath it's a meditation on the worthlessness of men.
