Critic Adam Nayman

The actual physical locations in Far From Men are stunning, and Oelhoffen smartly emphasizes the emptiness of the desert, which seems to stretch on infinitely behind the characters.

Camus- novelle bærer titlen L'Hote, som både kan oversættes til gæst og vært - og det er tolkningen, som Oelhoffen så fint får strakt til en eksistentiel rejse i klassisk genreformat.

Som så ofte før (...) leverer Mortensen en sublim præstation som den stille, sejlivede survivalist-type, du ikke ville tøve et sekund med at følge i en livstruende situation...

Ret god Nordafrikansk 'western', baseret på en novelle af Albert Camus. Musik af Nick Cave og Warren Ellis, og flotte landskaber!

Det är en mycket vacker film, där både Mortensen och Kateb är trovärdiga i sina roller.
