Leone (1921-1989) is here at the peak of his epic powers.September 27, 2005
If only the first 10 minutes of Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West still existed, this most hyperbolic of oat operas would still be acknowledged as one of the genre's greatest exhumations.June 18, 2013
There is something touching and maniacal about the two-and-three-quarter- hour result.May 09, 2005
It is mostly fun for the way it cherishes movie styles and attitudes from the past.August 22, 2012
Leone shows his skills with superb mastery over the medium.January 30, 2012
Sergio Leone's Western is his undisputed masterpiece, a lush, sensuous, elegiac operatic film made on epic yet intimate scale.September 08, 2013
Gunslingers, one-road towns, horse and buggies... Once Upon a Time in the West has them all, and spread across a sprawling near three hour running time that is as punishing on the ol' rickety knees as it is rewarding to the eyes.August 07, 2014
Once Upon a Time in the West is the mythic Western; an ode to the end of its era.July 24, 2009
'Once Upon a Time...' now looks like an over-cooked mess of style, metaphor and reference.October 06, 2016
[Sergio] Leone creates a horseback epic of bad guys with a heart of gold and an iron engine that reshapes the landscape as its tracks are laid through the wilderness.
