Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
While there is a striking similarity [to Bonnie and Clyde] in general content, background, fine color photography and even the use of hillbilly music, the new, more modest film stands curiously on its own.
Scorsese remains one of the bright young hopes of American movies.
'Promising juvenilia' is about the most one can say for it.
