Coastlines Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
It's flawed but no less fascinating for its mood of simmering tension on the fringes of the American dream.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
There's so much simmering behind the characters that the film seems to get away from Nunez, which is fine. The messy emotions and illogic of human nature defines this drama.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The third entry lacks the subtle power of the previous two efforts.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
The talent is still there, the film better than most. It just needs less crime, more love.
Miami Herald
Marta Barber
Keeps you entertained throughout its two hours, which says a lot about Nunez's storytelling.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
A skeeter noir bogged down in the unconvincing pulp of a melodrama without conviction.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Proves that while Ulee's Gold was an exceptional movie, it wasn't a fluke. Nuez just needs to search past the Panhandle for fresh material.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
Despite good performances, this attempt to intertwine a crime thriller with a love triangle never gels...Fans of Ulee's Gold, Ruby in Paradise, and A Flash of Green are likely to feel disappointed by this decidedly lesser effort.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The stuff of pulp, seriously at odds with what the writer-director has always done best. That is, show the inner workings of people, their needs, their fears, their small dreams.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Nunez's fans will appreciate his ability to evoke a palpable atmosphere. But there's just not enough spark in his scorched setting.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Longtime independent writer-director Victor Nunez brings a rare combination of homegrown regional sensibility and genuine filmmaking skills to his low-key stories of small-town life on Florida's gulf coast.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Nunez's multidimensional character development, with fine performances by Olyphant, Brolin, Wynter and Angela Bettis as one of Sonny's old flames, lends weight to the schematic plot points.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
[The love triangle] plays more like canned heat than blazing inferno...
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
It's a heartfelt movie that could have used a zigzaggier undercurrent, though Olyphant, in the sort of role that Paul Newman used to swagger through, has a star's easy command.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
As they say, two out of three ain't bad, and we look forward to more winners by Nunez.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Sometimes it's best to leave those old scripts in the trunk, a view borne out by Coastlines,a melodramatic step backward for writer-director Victor Nunez after his last two pictures.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Enough of the ingredients for a sultry downscale noir are in place in Coastlines, that once the film turns perversely goody-good, it leaves you feeling vaguely disgruntled.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Nuez's idea of the characters' ordinariness translates to flavorlessness, and he lights and shoots his scenes with a high schooler's care, often not even bothering to match up sight lines.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
The filmmaker's laconic pacing becomes a hindrance to any intended measure of suspense, just as his dedication to crafting a tangible sense of place comes at the expense of fleshed-out characters and motivation
Boxoffice Magazine
Annlee Ellingson
Integral to the plot of Coastlines is its setting -- indeed articulated in the very title.
