O'Connor's movie is too sentimental and self-serious to add much of note to the mythos, but Portman embodies her character's grief no less movingly than her forebears.
Michael Nordine, Village Voice
Rotten
At times, Jane Got A Gun comes perilously close to staying passive-to becoming A Gun Was Gotten By Jane.
Jesse Hassenger, AV Club

As stripped-down, revisionist Westerns go, "Jane Got A Gun" may not have reinvented the wagon wheel, but it rolls out as a sturdy, well-crafted genre piece despite its rocky road to the screen.
Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Whatever feminist angle the film might have once aspired to is lost in its listless shuffle.
Glenn Kenny, New York Times
