- Critics' reviews
-
-
"This film is a wonder - the best work yet by one of our most original and independent filmmakers"
-
"Sayles cannily blends drama, romance, mystery, and social observation into a satisfying, if slightly overlong, whole."
-
"With old-fashioned craftsmanship, Lone Star is not a movie you'll quickly forget."
-
"Sayles has surrounded his hero with other, more interesting characters and has warmed Lone Star with the glow of a humanist optimism rare in contemporary movies."
