...With his innate ability to create people whole, to make his familiar mannerisms and gestures work effectively in every situation, Duvall is an actor to wonder at....If you collect memorable performances THE STARS FELL ON HENRIETTA is worth a visit...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 2/4 --
The film lays meticulous groundwork for a payoff that never takes place. The last 20 minutes, which should deliver a big emotional punch, simply do not work.

Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3/4 --
We know exactly where this film is headed, but director James Keach tells a slightly darker story than you might expect and delays the inevitable to the point of genuine entertainment.

...[The] climax is suitably spectacular, as the exhilaration as well as the earth rattling violence of an oil strike are vividly conveyed...

Description by OLDIES.com:
Texas 1935. It's a time of boomtowns or bust for oil wildcatters and, time and again, derby-topped Mr. Cox has come out flat busted. No worries. Mr. Cox has a mule-headed optimism. He's sure as the sunrise that near the town of Henrietta on a cotton farm that raises more dust than bolls, there's black gold beneath the barren sod. From Clint Eastwood's production company, The Stars Fell on Henrietta is a sweet-natured tale of hope and redemption. As Mr. Cox, Robert Duvall adds another acclaimed expert performance to his gallery of great roles. And Aidan Quinn, Frances Fisher and Brian Dennehy shine as Lone Star denizens not so much swayed as gradually infected by Mr. Cox's unflagging will. Sweep up the stardust spread by this warm and winning movie and you may well be too.
