Critic Reviews
-
Sam Adams, Los Angeles Times
A convoluted, discombobulated take on a small-town drama, Lake City shifts gears so often it never gets out of the driveway.
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
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.
-
Ben Lyons, At the Movies
An interesting little film.
-
Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies
A movie that just didn't really ring true.
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
One of those Deep Dark Secret movies, the dull indie Lake City combines a wholly uninteresting family mystery with a wholly unconvincing crime drama.
