Arkansas Ratings & Reviews
Bonnie Morris
April 29, 2025
Great plot twists and the characters are both unique and relatable at the same time

Solid first feature for Clark Duke
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
With its brooding tone of tired inevitability, his Arkansas knows exactly how to find drama and sentiment in what could otherwise just be a dour path to the inevitable.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
It's quirky, lively, and diverting for a little while, but then it really just drags.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
[Clark Duke] shows some promise as a director and maybe even more so as a screenwriter, but it goes on too long, it is unevenly paced, and it seems to end a few times.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Peter Rainer
Somehow it does have a sort of distinctive tang... It doesn't quite add up to a full meal despite being overlong, but it has a kind of ambling, affectionate weirdness to it.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
At a two-hour running time, Arkansas is a half-baked neo-noir whose lukewarm juices curdle long before the credits.
Box Office Prophets
Sean Collier
Duke shows great promise as a writer and potential as a director, but serious problems as a one-man shop.
The Victoria Advocate
Joe Friar
The dark comedy provides plenty of laughs and a stellar cast. Plus The Flaming Lips covering country classics, a big thumbs up. An impressive directorial debut by Duke.
Third Coast Review
Lisa Trifone
Duke's debut is more of a knock-off than an original.
New York Times
Devika Girish
Less a mob thriller than a ruminative drama about a life built around orders and betrayals, the movie takes an unusual perspective on a familiar genre but is weighed down by its dull, uneven pace.
AV Club
Noel Murray
While Arkansas is a promising and often very entertaining first feature, Duke doesn't combine these borrowed ingredients-excellent though they are-into a fully realized original story, with its own personality.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
[M]ost of all it is unexpectedly fun, drawing you through its world of not-very-good-at-this criminals, low-lifes and people who want little more than to just hang about with verve and panache. And that makes it a place worth visiting.
Observer
Oliver Jones
No matter the size of the screen or the corniness of dialogue, Arkansas proves that strong acting from game performers can make even the most harebrained of endeavors brim with vitality and necessity.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
If narrative drive is your thing, steer clear of Clark Duke's trifling whatzit about drug-dealing deadbeats, but pandemic-weary audiences might just revel in a southern-fried, comic randomness that becomes the film's saving grace.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Not everything here works, including some lead casting. But this daylight noir should please viewers willing to roll along with a crime meller more interested in character quirks than action thrills.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Arkansas doesn't usually look like much (lots of music video lighting), and is often over-edited.
Slant Magazine
David Robb
The film's insistence on keeping the stakes low throughout is probably its key strength.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
"Arkansas" doesn't break the mold on cheeky, stylish, low-life movies; rather, it worships it.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
While it's hard to watch "Arkansas" and not see its debt to the Coen brothers, Duke finds a voice of his own in quiet, deadpan absurdities and southern-fried eccentricities.
