    Lake City is a powerful film, well made, well cast and well scripted. The direction is remarkable and the acting is fabulous. Each actor comes across very natural and the characters are very believable....at many times, it is almost like watching a real life situation. The director's have dealt with the story in a very special manner, and still maintaining the fine balance between the feelings of love, anger, rage, guilt, and compassion. The mother and son relationship is the best that has ever been able to portray. It a must to see film. Nice.

    A good story to curl up on the couch to watch and surprisingly good when nothing else is on to watch.

    A little slow to start, and the two storylines feel a bit disconnected, but ultimately it's a really interesting heartland drama with a few nice little twists. Great performances from Spacek and Romijn. How Troy Garity doesn't get a lot more work is unfathomable to me. I've only ...( read more)seen him in one other role, but he's *awesome.*

    Sissy and Troy are good but the screenplay is rather scattered not leaving them with much to work with although they do have one good emotional scene.

    Hackneyed dramatics insult some quality work by Spacek, though she seems to be falling prey to typecasting lately. Garity and Matthews both show flashes of potential, and Romijn is effective. Unfortunately, the production values scream "student film!"
