Lake City Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Sam Adams
A convoluted, discombobulated take on a small-town drama, Lake City shifts gears so often it never gets out of the driveway.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
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.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Rosenblatt
The only thing saving Lake City from total ridiculousness is Spacek.
L.A. Weekly
Michelle Orange
Mother and son have an uneasy bond that should be familiar to anyone who has ever seen a movie in which a child's room has been preserved and locked tight.
At the Movies
Ben Lyons
An interesting little film.
At the Movies
Ben Mankiewicz
A movie that just didn't really ring true.
Christian Science Monitor
Robert Koehler
The astonishingly inept finish could serve as a primer in screenwriting classes on how not to wind up a family drama.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
One of those Deep Dark Secret movies, the dull indie Lake City combines a wholly uninteresting family mystery with a wholly unconvincing crime drama.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Only natural spitfire Spacek, as the pickup-driving mom of the land, feels fresh.
Boxoffice Magazine
Wade Major
An intermittently admirable but largely incongruous work that suggests not only divergent sensibilities on the part of the two neophyte filmmakers, but a certain indecisiveness regarding their core audience.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
When Sissy Spacek speaks her cliched lines in the mediocre screenplay of Lake City, her delivery lends them a resonance that is not in the written words.

"Lake City" is a throwaway film with a cast it doesn't deserve.
AV Club
Noel Murray
The movie has an earnest tone, and a burnished golden glow that's pleasing to the eye, but the characters have no life beyond their immediate problems, and the actions the plot requires them to take to resolve them.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The story is as impersonal as it is labored.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
Added to the general torpidity and twangy tropes of this Southern family drama is the discomfort of watching a natural actor force it.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
There is very little wasted motion, to be sure, but also very little real-life like ambience.
Observer
Rex Reed
As for Sissy Spacek, I can't think of a sounder role to reflect the unique qualities that make her so special.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Quaintly shot and paced, not unlike Shotgun Stories, but insanely over-written, Lake City dumps on audiences a plot that consists of 500-some-odd puzzle pieces that all come together exactly as you expect.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Moore and Hill's script plunges [Sissy] Spacek in a mawkish stew of banality and improbability composed of bits and pieces of earlier roles.
CinemaBlend
Katey Rich
Contrived and too serious for its own good, it's hard to imagine any distributor loving it so much they want to let the rest of the world see it.
