Chrystal Ratings & Reviews
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
A sometimes audacious, occasionally downright brilliant, always watchable work that somehow just misses being wholly successful.
Los Angeles Daily News
David Kronke
While some of the low-key atmospherics are effective, and Thornton suffers with exquisite quietude, some important scenes unfortunately are clumsily staged.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
Chrystal unravels a bit toward the end as it becomes more fable-like, but the performances make it worthwhile.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Respectable piece of work is reasonably involving if not compelling.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
It's meandering and uneven, but much of it is powerfully effective and affecting.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
Even those impatient viewers who feel like they're watching paint dry will admit that the colors are beautiful.
Entertainment Insiders
Jonathan W. Hickman
No slam against the O Brother ,Where Art Thou? soundtrack but Chrystal could give it a run for its money.
Charlotte Observer
Lawrence Toppman
Looks and feels authentic in a way only a Southern director is likely to achieve.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
An affecting melodrama that's deep-fried in Southern heritage right down to its ribs.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Moves at a virtually glacial pace, dramatizing its story less than entombing it...lacks the radiance it obviously aspires to.
TheMovieChicks.com
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone
This would have been a better movie if it was just the Chrystal and Joe story... without some of the side bar events that don't advance the story.
Denton Record-Chronicle
Boo Allen
Triple threat writer/actor/director Ray McKinnon renders a strange tale set in the beauty of the Ozarks.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
... a masterful and assured movie about the ways broken people try to mend connections and carry on.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Longino
An oddly beautiful film.
Reel.com
Pam Grady
A harrowing and indelible evocation of loss and the fragility of life.
Film Threat
Brad Slager
A two-hour film that contains a story that could have been smoothly detailed in thirty minutes.
The Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
A grand story of redemption, laced with barbecued wit and slopped with intrigue.
eFilmCritic.com
Oz
If the as well-performed, better directed star-filled Levity is worth only 50 screens in its widest release, you'd have to think that Chrystal is headed for similar territory.
