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.
