With all the high-profile movies blasting into theaters at this time of year, Lake City will probably get lost in the shuffle. That won't be a tragedy.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Mother and son have an uneasy bond that should be familiar to anyone who has ever seen a movie in which a child's room has been preserved and locked tight.
Michelle Orange, L.A. Weekly
Fresh
An interesting little film.
Ben Lyons, At the Movies
Rotten
A movie that just didn't really ring true.
