Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Rambling, indulgent and joltingly raw at times, Sean Penn's first outing as a director takes a fair amount of patience to get through but has an integrity that intermittently serves it well.
– Variety Staff,

rotten:
Penn's first project as writer/director is a film out of time, drenched in an overbearing '60s world-view which veers between the dated and the dopey.
– Geoff Andrew,

fresh:
Loose, rambling and sometimes rudderless as it is, "The Indian Runner" has a fundamental honesty that gives it real substance.
– Janet Maslin,

fresh:
Penn surrounds his brothers with supporting characters who are so well-realized, I'll remember them as long as I remember the leads.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
Penn is trying to get at gritty American ''truths'' about love, brutality, and blood ties. Somehow, though, it's all a bit pat: By now, even these stark themes have the ring of movie conventions.
