Kevin Costner's Horizon epic slammed by critics on Rotten Tomatoes and receives scathing reviews despite 10 minute standing ovation at Cannes By Madison Burgess Published: 11:06, 20 May 2024 | Updated: 11:06, 20 May 2024 e-mail View comments Kevin Costner 's newest movie has been slammed by critics, despite earning a 10-minute standing ovation from the audience following its premiere screening at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on Sunday. Horizon: An American Saga is a multi-chapter epic Western film that follows the American Civil War and the expansion of the American west. Kevin, 69, not only plays the lead role but also serves as director, producer and co-writer with Job Baird - the actor got teary-eyed during the long applause moments after the credits fell.
However, his happiness could be short-lived as not all critics are fans of the three-hour-long western movie, which has received some scathing reviews and a very low score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film has a staggeringly low 20% on the Tomatometer - this score represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show.
