Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
John Sayles' "Lone Star" contains so many riches, it humbles ordinary movies.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
Sayles' latest never bores during its 21/4-hour unreeling. But neither does it soar, despite finessing a complex flashback narrative set in 1957 and present-day.
– Mike Clark,
USA Today,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Sayles' witty, vividly demotic dialogue knocks even Tarantino for six, the characterisations are uniformly colourful and credible, the soundtrack and the widescreen camerawork exemplary ...
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
9 Feb 2006
fresh:
A richly textured and thoroughly engrossing drama that ranks with indie filmmaker John Sayles' finest work.
– Joe Leydon,
Variety,
26 Mar 2009
fresh:
[A] complex and rewarding new Texas murder mystery.
– John Hartl,
