Roger Greenspun

I'm not sure that it is a great movie, but it is very good, and it stays and grows in the mind the way only movies of exceptional narrative intelligence do. Read full review

Siegel devotees will find much to enjoy in the languid but not unexciting story by Budd Boetticher. Read full review

Roger Ebert

A step or two above the usual Clint Eastwood Western. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

This western almost makes the grade as high-quality moviemaking, but just never quite gets there. Read full review

Two Mules for Sister Sara might have worked. But with Clint Eastwood as one of the mules, an American mercenary looking for a fast peso in old French-occupied Mexico, Shirley MacLaine as a scarlet sister disguised in a nun's habit, and Don Siegel's by-the-old-book direction, it doesn't.

This is terrific. 'Two Mules for Sister Sara' is highly enjoyable.

I have many positives. Clint Eastwood is tremendous in one of the two lead roles, I know he seemingly plays this sorta character a lot, at least early on in his career, but man is he quality at it. Shirley MacLaine is great alongside Mr. Eastwood, she suits and plays her character extremely well. The two have excellent chemistry. Elsewhere, Manolo Fábregas spearheads the rest.

How about that score? I love it! Impossible not to tap along to whenever the main title is used and every single time it sounds so, so good. Ennio Morricone, what a ledge! The humour in this 1970 film is also top notch, while the pacing and editing is also on point. I really enjoyed the journey that the plot takes, it's simple and there's a clear beginning, middle and end but it's all supremely entertaining.

I will no doubt be revisiting this!… Expand

Yet another classic western film starring Eastwood.
Not action packed but a very good chemistry between Eastwood and Shirley MClane. When there's shootout scenes there pretty impressive.
Overall i found the film very enjoyable.
