Recommandations

Village Voice
That Sweetwater is so generic doesn't prevent it from being intermittently entertaining. - 50
Los Angeles Times
As violent act begets silly exchange begets another violent act, Sweetwater squanders its noteworthy resources — a cast enjoying themselves (especially Isaacs and Harris), and some effectively brooding outdoor cinematography. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The Old West is portrayed as a venal loony bin in Sweetwater, a handsomely designed, occasionally funny but ultimately empty female vengeance yarn. - 50
The Dissolve
Rare is the Western that’s too low-rent to be satisfyingly lurid, but with hardly any tension or personality to its name, Sweetwater just misses the mark. - 40
Arizona Republic
The characters aren’t the only things painted in broad strokes. Sweetwater is rife with gauche symbolism and imagery. - 30
Variety
Fancy-sounding dialogue and handsome widescreen lensing goes only so far to disguise the shallowness of the underlying material. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
A revenge-fantasy Western that wants to luxuriate in its B-movie roots but suffers from dull direction and an even duller central performance.
