What Are the Critics Saying about 1883?
1883 has an official critics rating of 89% and an average audience score of 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. The cast and the cinematography have received special praise from the viewers.
Joshua Alston from Variety says, “1883 has the characters, the scope, and the vision to become an exciting new chapter of the Yellowstone franchise, as well as a rare example of a spin-off that never feels beholden to its source material.”
Brian Lowry from CNN writes, “For fans of westerns, 1883 certainly looks like the real deal, coming from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan and featuring Sam Elliott as a gnarled cowboy. The execution, however, feels stale.”
