"Bidegain's approach respects his viewers' intelligence and rewards those willing to put in the work."

Variety
Variety"Less a treatise on extremism than an exploration of western fears and prejudices, this is potent and provocative - and packs a skin-prickling finale."
—
Total Film
Total Film"Reaching across 15 years and multiple countries, "Les Cowboys" repurposes the narrative codes of the classic western to explore the complexities of a disrupted world."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"The Searchers, another story of an "abducted" child, is clearly meant to be a touchstone, but Bidegain cannily exploits and then subverts that connection, taking the story to unexpected places with twist after twist."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"This modern western hits hard and stays with you. It's an auspicious debut for Bidegain as a director. As to whether it can stand shoulder to shoulder with The Searchers, that'll be the day."

Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone"Bidegain ... respects the simple, melodramatic appeal of his story, and the primal emotions lurking beneath this story of parents and children torn apart."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Bidegain can tell a sweeping story across several years and with multiple characters in very economical ways."
