North Sea Texas Ratings & Reviews
OUT FRONT Magazine (Denver)
Steve Cruz
North Sea Texas captures the joy and turmoil without confining the characters to a bubble, and the results are quietly magnificent.
Bay Area Reporter
David Lamble
Defurne's sumptuously photographed setting resembles some seaside Oz. Particularly striking is the Texas roadhouse bar from which the film derives its geographically paradoxical title.
Windy City Times
Richard Knight
There's a chilly, wistful and rather matter-of-fact tone to the proceedings and this helps separate the rather run-of-the-mill aspects of the plot from the herd of teenager-in-love movies.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Thematically, this Dutsch tale of coming of age and first love is extremely familar. but it's sincerely treated and well acted by the two central boys.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
This debut feature by noted short-film director Bavo Defurne emphasizes ambiance over storytelling, but that ambiance is so flavorsome you might not mind.
Chicago Sun-Times
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
It's not just that film is underdeveloped - it's that it feels unwilling to develop, preferring to leave its characters and plot points static. The result feels stunted.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
A reasonably realistic slice of lower-middle-class European life with a repressed protagonist named Pim.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
It's a story that's been told countless times, but first-time director Bavo Defurne has such an assured hand and visual flair (much credit also belongs to cinematographer Anton Mertens) that everything seems fresh and new.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Splendidly acted, especially by Florizoone, whose every thought appears to register on his wide-open features, it's more than promising.
Film Journal International
David Noh
A small but quite lovely and wonderful film, gorgeous to look at, which tackles an age-old subject with radiant freshness.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"North Sea Texas" explores emergent sexuality and first love with a refreshing optimism.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
A simmering drama powered by fully drawn characters and fine performances.
Village Voice
Chris Packham
A soulful, slightly hyperreal comedy ...
TheFilmFile.com
Dustin Putman
In the annals of gay cinema about growing up, "North Sea Texas" is, regrettably, an unoriginal and rather disposable take on a subject that's been done much better in the past.
Slant Magazine
Caroline McKenzie
The film succeeds in creating a dense atmospheric feel and avoids generic tropes, but it does so somewhat at the neglect of its characters and narrative.
