A movie where very old man Clint asks the ultimate question: why be a macho man when you can be a nice man?
Patrick WillemsSep 15, 2021In a world so impatient that people have started to whine about the injustice of movies playing in theaters for a few weeks before they (finally!) become available to watch at home, Clint Eastwood has spent the last 33 years waiting for the right time to make a sleepy,…
davidehrlichSep 18, 2021This pleasant and relaxing make-work project for its 91-year-old auteur is a good example of a movie whose flaws are the same as its virtues. For example, Clint is at least 20 years too old for this role, but if he was the “right” age this would just be a normal, boring…

More of an Eastwood text than any form of commercial movie. Even by his late standards, the extense Cry Macho acts like usual movie expectations is beside the point is impressive. Indeed, it is a movie predicted in strip down a certain allure of images. When it is was first…
Filipe FurtadoSep 16, 2021Clint Eastwood no sólo le encontró el sentido a la vida sino también la vuelta. Viene haciendo películas crepusculares desde los '70, como si al hacerse consciente de su vejez y legado, lograra extender su tiempo en el mundo. Algo similar a Woody, quien se preocupa por la…
critico y citricoSep 21, 2021Clint ends his run of movies wrestling with American institutions and symbols and the wounds/regret/people trying their best that are left in their wake with a surprisingly quaint and warm ode to looking at your meager surroundings and simply choosing to make them better.…

Nicecore. Clint Lasso. The kid is bad though.
matt lynchSep 19, 2021Aggressively terrible on almost every level. If any other filmmaker had created the exact same film (with the same shots, dialogue, acting, etc.), the reviews would be brutal. Eastwood’s presence and the film’s themes give some gravitas to the proceedings. But make no…
David ChenSep 17, 2021Clint Eastwood has been dying of old age in his films since before many of his current viewers were born. It would be fair to look at the last 35 years of the American great’s career, and make the assessment that nobody has even written so thorough a self-eulogy. But…

Eastwood has made some great movies but this is NOT it. It ressembles Gran Torino a little but misses everything, is slow, the acting is weird, the relationships empty and Eastwood starts to look and feel old, it is almost painful to watch him move on screen at his age…
Eye Cinc dislikedCry MachoIt’s frustrating coming from two GREAT movies and then get this thing full of stereotypical things about Mexico. And why went to Mexico City and portraying that way. But the most sad is watch Mr. Eastwood form a serious age trying to dance when he has trouble to walk.
ty lovedCry Machosooo i have officially watched every film clint eastwood has acted in or directed, it’s a bittersweet feeling but im so happy i started this journey about a year or so ago. i loved this film sososo much it was incredibly heartwarming even if it did have some flaws
- Mark Bateman dislikedCry Macho
2/10 would have expected the character given the task to have more life although a frail Eastwood fails to deliver both strength and chemistry given this is a cowboy film would have hoped for better. Such a shame as Eastwood is a legend (still is).
Charlie lovedCry MachoIn The Mule, Clint feels like an unchanged man in a changed world, a person stuck in the past ignoring the people around him, he wants to change. Here Clint is a changed man in a changed world, accepting and open to ideas from total strangers
Gerben Joustra lovedCry MachoClint Eastwood, a class of its own… Can’t believe some don’t see that. While this might not be his best, it’s still nothing but Superb! Beautiful characters, true romance ❤️
- Oakley Frank is "meh" onCry Macho
usually love clint eastwood movies, always super simple but tell a great story. This one was fine, just a little boring, but i dont regret watching it or anything
Soonersboy dislikedCry MachoIt’s insane watch it, a young beautiful woman in Mexico hooks up with a old cowboy chicken master and a lil kid somehow becomes family! Makes no sense!!!
Stotts dislikedCry MachoThere’s better Eastwood flicks out there. Gran Torino, any of his classics, even The Mule

Clint Eastwood did it again 91 & going strong. Can't wait for the next movie he does. Clint Eastwood makes me miss my dad he loved Clint Eastwood movies & met him once, but they are 2 different people but the same style & a give them a hell attitude & don't take crap from…
MKMonica KouznetsovI wanted to enjoy a bit of nostalgia for Clint Eastwood, but this movie was truly terrible. The dialog was awful. The acting was awful. And we're to believe that not one , but 2 middle aged women fall for 91 year old cowboy Clint?
KRKrissy Richthis was probably the most boring movie I've ever seen.

Old Clint is still Clint, but he definitely looks a little stooped and more than a little frail. There’s an unexpected benefit to that frailty, and it makes this leisurely, not especially plausible film worth watching.

A screen elegy is supposed to make you sad and give the viewer an appreciation for all this character and the actor playing him was, and a little of what remains. Cry Macho just generates pity.

Now, approaching twilight, Eastwood has stripped everything down to its essentials. The picture doesn’t always work, but it works when it has to. It’s a fragile enterprise — lovely to bask in, but liable to fall apart if you stare too hard.
