Search: Directed by Kevin Costner

  • Dances With Wolves (1990)
    Review preview for Dances With Wolves

    The Western exhausted its cliches and died in parody. Costner works the vein, as if ignorant of its history.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 5 out of 5
    A Union soldier goes native in the wide open plains of Sioux country.
  • Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (2024)
    Review preview for Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1

    It has all the hallmarks of a production destined for a television mini-series with apparently three other chapters promised by Costner.

    Richard Mowe · 3 out of 5
    An epic spanning the Civil War from 1861 to 1865.
  • Open Range (2003)
    Review preview for Open Range

    For the second time, Costner has bet the farm and found his strength in cattle country.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4.5 out of 5
    Kevin Costner returns to the wide open spaces of cattle country.
  • The Postman (1997)
    Review preview for The Postman

    As an actor, Costner plays his trademark laid-back, soppy-hearted loner, offering nothing new. As a director, he is so casual with detail he might not have been there.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 1 out of 5
    A man restarts the postal service in post-apocalyptic America.
  • Waterworld (1995)
    Review preview for Waterworld

    Waterworld has a lot going for it. It's everything an action/sci-fi movie should be.

    Gator MacReady · 4 out of 5
    The quest for Dry Land as Kevin Costner blows a sub-Titanic budget.
