Guy Lodge Variety Jun 4
“Heads or Tails?” pulls it off, in large part because the scrubby, sunbaked textures of its story world remain so vividly consistent. Go to Full Review

A Western that consistently fails to find a rhythm that lives up to its potential. Go to Full Review
Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter May 23
When more fantastical elements start to bubble up into the dramatic mix, Heads or Tails? seems less certain of its goals, although the ride remains quite enjoyable all the same. Go to Full Review
Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip 1d
Heads or Tails? is a beautiful, beautifully acted, weird, sharply funny revisionist western taking on two cinematic traditions with the kind of knives-out bravura that contemporary cinema needs more of. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 1d
An ambitious mishmash of nostalgic references and stylish visual flourishes, this throwback western finds its own amusing niche that both indulges and tweaks genre tropes. Go to Full Review

Gorgeous and weird, it’s like a dream somebody had after watching an all-day Sergio Leone film festival. Go to Full Review

Ethan E @L.A.Hondo 1d In the post-Tarantino west, the term "spaghetti western" immediately conjures twangy electric guitars, steely gazes, and zippy camera moves. The key to "Heads or Tails?" is that it is NOT a spaghetti western in that overly familiar manner. It's very much an Italian western, with that strange, compelling style that only Euro films provide. From gold teeth to gatling guns there are many elements from spaghetti westerns, like class warfare themes from Sergio Leone's later films, a revenge plot like 'Bullet For Sandoval", and the fever dream of Peckinpah's "Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia." While John C. Reilly is featured in the trailer, he appears only sporadically as a specter of the American version of the west. His presence, and the two contrasting ballads in the film, recall John Ford's "Liberty Valance" credo about facts and legends. "Heads or Tails" is terrific film that may captivate you - as long as you don't expect something like "Django" or "The Quick and the Dead."
