Critic Reviews for The Furies
All Critics (10) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (1) | DVD (3)
The movie's jarring violence pales beside the clashes of egos and the disputes between new banking interests and age-old claims on the land.
A fascinating entry in the Western genre; flawed, powerful, and haunting, a meditation on the all-encompassing corruption of capitalism that, in perhaps the most American fashion, ends up paying tribute to the very figures it set out to condemn.
Hardly a formulaic Western.
The Furies is driven by emotional drama, vulnerable characters, and noir-ish sensibilities that play against archetypal western elements.
Watching Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston go head to head is half the fun.
The rotund dialogue is uttered by the late Walter Huston and others worthy of better material.
Audience Reviews for The Furies
Robust western with greek tragedy overtones. Stanwyck is great as always matched by Huston and Anderson.
Super Reviewer
Western Noir Epic Melodrama. (NOT a Buddy Movie, NOT a Musical.) A transitional and somewhat uneven work for Mann. Worth a look for many reasons - including bravaura final performance by Walter Huston. I want Barbara Stanwyck to kick my ass. There, I said it.

a great overlooked western from anthony mann. walter huston is always a joy to watch and in his last film he plays the boss of the furies, a man so powerful he prints his own currency. barbara stanwyck plays his willful daughter who's determined to control his ranch one way or another. she may have come from brooklyn but she looks like she belongs in the vast western landscapes. it's a compelling family melodrama with wonderful performances all around and great chemistry between father and daughter with their conflicts and tough talk. you'd almost think they were related. it's well worth checking out altho perhaps wrapped up a little too neatly in the end
