Deadwood: The Movie (2019)
91%RT Audience Score: 84%
Awards & Nominations: NA
A triumphant coda to a beloved series, Deadwood: The Movie will satisfy fans longing for a little f—ing closure.
Deadwood: The Movie is a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern-day vulgarity. The characters are given a tender treatment that makes you feel like you’re watching old friends reunite. The dialogue is written to be relished, with Shakespearean soliloquies filtered through X-rated doggerel. It’s a violent yet appropriately elegiac (and oh-so-satisfying) two-hour farewell that explores the redemptive nature of second chances. If you’re a fan of the original series, this movie is the ideal version of fan service.

[David] Milch’s writing magnificently blends the high and the low, with old-world phraseology punctuated with great stinging bursts of vulgarity.

TOP CRITIC
This is a finely wrought return to a modern Golden Age TV classic, which more than makes up for its lack of surprises with the almost tender treatment of its characters, and dialogue that’s written to be relished.

“Deadwood” movie is a pleasing reunion, giving the characters and Milch the kind of ending this groundbreaking series always deserved.

Deadwood: The Movie is a perfect ending for a show that explored early and often the redemptive nature of second chances, and if this is creator David Milch’s legacy, it is a flawless one.

Deadwood is a story, not of this century, but also not quite out of the past.

The Deadwood movie is a deeply-satisfying and tightly-written coda to one of the best TV series ever.

Book & Film Globe
[I]f the worst one can say is that the Deadwood movie feels more like an encore than a send-off, that’s far from the worst position to be in.

It’s a story for the ages and one that finally gets the fitting ending it deserves.

The Digital Fix
[David] Milch’s gift for raw frontier poetry, with Shakespearean soliloquies filtered through X-rated doggerel, is as entertaining as ever in a violent yet appropriately elegiac (and oh-so-satisfying) two-hour farewell.

TV Insider
The term “fan service” is often used as a cudgel against artists who may or may not be pandering to their loyal audiences, but the Deadwood movie feels like an ideal version of that concept.
