"Come back, Shane!" Classic Western for the ages.
July 02, 2007
Here, as too often in his career, Stevens is aiming to have the last word on a genre: everything aims for 'classic' status, and everything falters in a mire of artsiness and obtrusive technique.

A film that continues to maintain its condition of unscathed classic, although it has its detractors. [Full review in Spanish]

Western Poetry in Technicolor.

To a degree, Shane employs the good-guy/bad-guy stereotypes that characterize Westerns. But it's more complex than that.
July 02, 2007
Wyoming's scenic splendors against which the story is filmed are breathtaking. Sunlight, the shadow of rain storms and the eerie lights of night play a realistic part in making the picture a visual treat.
February 09, 2006
Stevens' classic Western, with its inflated reputation, now looks as if it were self-consciously intended as a landmark film right from the start.

It is a movie that takes its own measured, deliberate time finding ways to increase your pleasure.
August 12, 2008
The direction is deliberate, but the attention to detail is impressive, and the perfromances of Jean Arthur, Alan Ladd, and Brandon De Wilde are so good and restrained that they overcome the social-mythical types they're playing.

There are intriguing mysteries in Shane, puzzles and challenges, not least in the title character and the way he is played by Alan Ladd.
August 02, 2010
Despite being burdened with grand pretensions, George Steven's Shane stands securely as one of the most intelligent westerns of its era.
May 20, 2003
For Shane contains something more than beauty and the grandeur of the mountains and plains, drenched by the brilliant Western sunshine and the violent, torrential, black-browed rains...
