Entertainment Reviews:
It's not so much that it's indifferent film -- it's too arch to be bad. More that it's a disappointment.

The Spectator
Rating: A+ --
McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971) was iconoclastic and offbeat director Robert Altman's acclaimed revisionist western (or "anti-western" according to some) about the American frontier. It was the first of his two myth-busting westerns...

AMC Filmsite
5 stars out of 5 -- Altman remixes western heroism to the tunes of fatalism, failure and wintry Leonard Cohen songs...
Total Film
Rating: 4/4 --
a moving portrait of how the little man, no matter how confident in himself, is usually at the mercy of others with more money and more power and less scruples

Rating: 4/4 --
A fascinating upending of the romanticism surrounding the American west and its ideals of masculinity.

...A visual marvel...

...One of Robert Altman's best....The film's real strength is its offbeat characters and their mood-drenched milieu...

Product Description:
A haunting, poetic anti-Western based on the 1959 novel by Edmund Naughton, Robert Altman's MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER is a deeply moving motion picture about love and the pursuit of wealth in 19th-century America.
John McCabe (Warren Beatty), a determined businessman with a mysterious past, settles in the small Northwestern town of Presbyterian Church and opens up a saloon and brothel. Soon after, the brothel's madam, an Englishwoman named Constance Miller (Julie Christie), arrives and forms a partnership with McCabe in order to manage the brothel's business affairs. McCabe has trouble expressing his true feelings to Mrs. Miller, with whom he has fallen in love; she, in turn, relies on opium to distract her from her personal sorrows. After a powerful company arrives and offers to buy out McCabe's property, his stubborn refusal ends up jeopardizing his life, resulting in a showdown with three hired killers in the middle of a freak blizzard. Cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond's faded imagery-purposely manipulated by "flashing" the film stock before shooting--along with production designer Leon Ericksen's authentically created town, brings to life a past world that is tinged with an underlying sadness, a feeling that is heightened by Leonard Cohen's melancholy soundtrack. Beatty, as the lovesick McCabe, and Christie, who was nominated for an Oscar as the hard-nosed Mrs. Miller, deliver heartfelt and convincing performances.
