===Contemporary Canadian reviews=== Les Wedman of the ''[[Vancouver Sun]]'' noted that "locally, the initial interest is that the movie was shot last winter in West Vancouver and Squamish, but it is going to take more than the stunning and scenic photography of Vilmos [Zsigmond] and the presence of local actors on the screen to sustain audiences even here. And unfortunately, even with varying degrees of performance and the drawing power of stars Warren Beatty and Julie Christie, ''McCabe and Mrs. Miller'' doesn't have much else."<ref>{{cite news |last=Wedman |first=Les |date=July 9, 1971 |title=Stunning photography creates a superbly decorated collage |url=https://vancouversun.newspapers.com/article/the-vancouver-sun/137625065/ |work=[[Vancouver Sun]] |location= |access-date=December 29, 2023}}</ref> James Spears, however, wrote in ''[[The Province]]'' that the film "is a beautiful dream, and an important part of the dream of Vancouver."<ref>{{cite news |last=Speers |first=James |date=July 10, 1971 |title=Murky, muddy honesty |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-province/137625228/ |work=[[The Province]] |location=Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada |access-date=December 29, 2023}}</ref> Daniel Stoffman of ''[[The Toronto Star]]'' called it "an hour and a half of Warren Beatty mumbling, Julie Christie scowling, and Leonard Cohen droning on the sound track.
