John Wayne called this the most unamerican film he’d ever seen so you know it’s good as hell
Branson ReeseFeb 14, 2023I hate when I go to the barber, settle back into the chair with the warm towel pressed against my face, then hear somebody building my coffin out back.
DallasFranceApr 3, 2020A bit functional and lecture-y by design (is that Stanley Kramer's music?) rather than the more expressive lyricism of The Classics or the overwhelmingly doomed/depressed mood of the revisionists, but certainly a sturdy and handsome Hollywood backlot production that Gary…

Imagine the suspenseful opening scene from Once Upon a Time in West, but as an entire movie. Fred Zinnemann's High Noon is a classic & revolutionary movie of the Western genre. Tense, suspenseful & solid drama, which is an allegory for McCarthyism and the Hollywood Black…
NakulJan 8, 2022What are we without our community? A sheriff who cleaned up the streets long ago has his hour of need when that filth comes running back, but the town he's cared for doesn't care back and is content hanging him out to dry in the sun-bleached streets as noon draws…
reibureibuFeb 25, 2021The screenplay for High Noon is written by Carl Foreman, a left-wing intellectual blacklisted in Hollywood for refusing to answer questions from the House Committee on Un-American Activities. In this sense, the story of the sheriff who is cowardly left alone by his fellow…

truApr 24, 2025Now that’s what I call a western. They don’t make them like they used to.
Jeremy CorbynMay 7, 2024Give up or not? Stay or run away? Duty, loyalty, and love, everything seems to be against Marshal Will Kane, who still never gives up on what makes him who he truly is. A beautiful and interesting story with an innovative real-time narrative, and yet I found myself a little…

- Mickerdoo is "meh" onHigh Noon
Felt like an hour of a guy running errands followed by a short climax of action. Grace Kelly was a looker, though.
Platypus Lord lovedHigh NoonExcellent story, with palpable tension leading up to noon, with the minutes running by almost in realtime, and then a great ending. Fascinating characters, including Harv who you keep holding onto hope for. The use of the "High Noon" song interspersed between scenes is poignant and rousing - I…
AJ Zeppenfeld lovedHigh NoonReally enjoyed this Western classic, but how Gary Cooper received such praise for his acting is beyond me. Jimmy Stewart, Burt Lancaster, Cary Grant...those fellas were on another level back in the day. But Cooper's acting here was just borderline bad imo. Must just be a "me" thing tho given how…
- James New lovedHigh Noon
Such a simple story executed in such a rich and expert way. A slow burn character exploration of a town of people not willing to defend themselves. Incredible music, incredible sets and classic choreography. Gary Cooper is remarkable and the film is nothing short of gripping
William Luckenbach lovedHigh NoonI don’t hear many people talk about this film nowadays. This surprises me as it’s one of the greatest Westerns of all time. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It is incredibly compelling all the way through. 9/10
ALT Rag3 is "meh" onHigh Nooni don’t know it wasn’t super boring but it doesn’t feel like anything I haven’t seen before, even though I’ve never seen an old western. The ending was nice but simple
- Beau lovedHigh Noon
This is a rewatch from watching with my dad so there is probably some sentimental vibes going on here, but was still a excellent movie.
Stefan is "meh" onHigh NoonFlips the “recruitment” film trope on its head, and while unique in that sense, it was still a little too slow for me
Kat likedHigh NoonKind of slow but if your into old westerns it’s a really fun thrilling movie

Metacritic
Some of the results ring false, but the memorable theme song and some equally memorable character acting (by Thomas Mitchell and Lon Chaney Jr. more than Lloyd Bridges and Katy Jurado) help things along.

The Western may be one of the few truly American art forms, and High Noon shows exactly how much potential it can embrace.
