"It has qualities that may not come out in a trailer or in an ad but sink in when you have the experience of seeing it. Few films are so observant about how we relate with one another. Few are as sympathetic. Rating: **** (out of 4)." (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)- Awards

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Shotgun Stories' defines the classic western phrase 'doing what a man's got to do' as both a moral imperative and a biological compulsion."
-
"Alternately terse and elegiac, 'Shotgun Stories' works best when it observes the lives of its main characters"
-
"An interesting first effort from Nichols - making him a director to look out for in the future"
-
"'Shotgun Stories' is a cautionary tale about revenge, but more than that, it is a beautiful, authentic-feeling portrait of a family and a place."
-
"Well-plotted, with a strong lead performance by Michael Shannon, and a fair amount of authentic regional flavor"
