After a deadly rodeo and a stolen kiss, Rosa and her cowboy lover flee across the Italian wilderness, pursued by Buffalo Bill himself.

Critics Consensus

Driven by John C. Reilly's charismatic performance, Heads or Tails? is a richly textured spaghetti Western that transforms Italy's striking landscapes into a vibrant stage for outlaw romance and playful surrealism.

“Heads or Tails?” pulls it off, in large part because the scrubby, sunbaked textures of its story world remain so vividly consistent.

A Western that consistently fails to find a rhythm that lives up to its potential.

When more fantastical elements start to bubble up into the dramatic mix, Heads or Tails? seems less certain of its goals, although the ride remains quite enjoyable all the same.

A spaghetti Western with a feminist slant, based on the notion of the divergence of fact and fiction...in stories about the Old West,... Unfortunately, it’s a spaghetti Western in which the pasta is rather soggy and the sauce pretty tasteless.

It tells a story about oppression and freedom, mixing classic elements of the genre with surreal imagery, romance, and some violence. [Full review in Spanish].

...fine cinematography and lush locations. As the latest spaghetti western, it’s not up to the three Clint Eastwood films, but it’ll do, buttressed by fine performances.

In the post-Tarantino west, the term "spaghetti western" immediately conjures twangy electric guitars, steely gazes, and zippy camera moves. The key to "Heads or Tails?" is that it is NOT a spaghetti western in that overly familiar manner. It's very much an Italian western, with that strange, compelling style that only Euro films provide. From gold teeth to gatling guns there are many elements from spaghetti westerns, like class warfare themes from Sergio Leone's later films, a revenge plot like 'Bullet For Sandoval", and the fever dream of Peckinpah's "Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia." While John C. Reilly is featured in the trailer, he appears only sporadically as a specter of the American version of the west. His presence, and the two contrasting ballads in the film, recall John Ford's "Liberty Valance" credo about facts and legends. "Heads or Tails" is terrific film that may captivate you - as long as you don't expect something like "Django" or "The Quick and the Dead."
