Critic Reviews

Mike Clark, USA Today
Sayles' latest never bores during its 21/4-hour unreeling. But neither does it soar, despite finessing a complex flashback narrative set in 1957 and present-day.

Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
The latest chapter in Sayles' ongoing great American novel.
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Lone Star, one of Sayles best and most popular films, explores the historical strain between the Mexican and American communities in Texas. Though a bit didactic (too many sermons), it's well acted and visually more satisfying than his other films
-
Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com
Well over two hours with not a single minute wasted.

John Sayles is in fine form here, thanks in no small part to an excellent cast.
