It adds up to an unexpectedly moving portrait of a maverick at twilight.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Harry Dean Stanton is a marvelous actor and, at least from a visual standpoint, a marvelous camera subject. He's not much of a talker, though.

At the film's heart is a fitful conversation that unfolds like a string of koans, epigrams, jokes and silences. And songs.
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times

Huber responds to Stanton's languid opacity in ways both inspired... and insipid.
