Upon its release, Cry, Onion! garnered mixed reviews, reflecting both its charm and eccentric narrative. The film's IMDb rating stands at 5.4/10, suggesting a polarized response from audiences. Critics noted Franco Nero's charismatic performance, stating that he delivers a unique blend of seriousness and humor, embodying the quirky essence of his character. As one critic from 'The New York Times' remarked, 'Nero's comedic timing adds a refreshing twist to the otherwise conventional western storyline.' However, some viewers expressed dissatisfaction with the film's pacing, indicating that it felt uneven at times. 'Rotten Tomatoes' highlights that while the film might not appeal to conventional western aficionados, it attracts a niche audience looking for something different in the genre. Reviews indicate that 'Cry, Onion!' thrives partly on its absurdity and whimsy, with one reviewer on 'Metacritic' stating, 'The film's light-hearted silliness is a delightful distraction from more serious western fare.' Despite its mixed reception, many fans appreciate its offbeat approach and humor, making it an intriguing watch for those interested in the less trodden paths of the spaghetti western genre.
