[2][3][4] A Patient Man was Ward's first feature film; he also wrote the script,[2] and described it as Hitchcockian in inspiration.
[3] Some reviewers described A Patient Man as "interesting and twisted"[4] and praised Ward's direction for "an amazing job of hiding the clues to the mystery while showing a very real depiction of how a person can descend into revenge because of their grief", and Mangum's[5] and Ellington's[4] performances.
Others criticized the film for "telegraph[ing] the plot even while spinning it"[3] and Mangum's performance as "so deadpan as to be sleep inducing",[2]
