Reviews in German: "Die tödlich verlaufende Jagd nach einem reißenden Berglöwen zu Beginn des Winters läßt die unterschwelligen Konflikte einer heillos ineinander verstrickten Familie auf einer einsamen Farm ausbrechen. Der düstere Western um Lieblosigkeit, Bigotterie, Feigheit und Machtbesessenheit gemahnt an die pessimistischen Dramen eines Eugene O'Neill und beeindruckt durch die konsequente Farbgestaltung. Alleiniger Kontrapunkt zur durchgehend in schwarz und weiß gehaltenen Szenerie ist die brandrote Jacke des ältesten Sohnes." (Zoom)
