Reviews
  • Variety.com: Director Richard Gray’s well-crafted and handsomely mounted indie is as much a solidly constructed mystery as it is it a conventionally satisfying oater, with much to recommend to fans of either genre who rarely get to sample such a mix.
  • Commonsensemedia.org: moves at an unhurried pace, balancing its thoughtful ideas with vivid storytelling and strong characters.
  • Horrorbuzz.com: Worth a watch for its cast alone. As a whodunit murder mystery, Murder at Yellowstone City entertains.
  • Elementsofmadness.com: A star-studded western thriller that hits the target.
  • Thehollywoodoutsider.com: Murder at Yellowstone City sets out to do what very few outside of The Hateful Eight have done: craft a genuine murder mystery in the Old West.
  • Thefilmstage.com: With a sprawling cast of familiar faces, Murder at Yellowstone City reveals itself as character-driven from the start.
  • Moviehole.net: Good twists and turns, nifty direction and some good production design.
  • Screenrant.com: An intriguing adventure of a preacher-turned-sleuth at the center. Compelling Western.
