Leave your thoughts about Big Stone Gap.
| BeliefnetNell MinowUnpretentious and it goes down easy, like sweet tea brewed by sunshine. |
| Lainey GossipSarah MarrsIf you really want an unpretentious, sweet romantic movie, you deserve a whole hell of a lot better than Big Stone Gap. |
| Richmond Times-DispatchMike WardSure, the script can be simpler than a diner menu. And at times the nostalgia seems manufactured like the goodies at a Cracker Barrel gift shop, but...Big Stone Gap proves to be...a nice change of pace from the summer popcorn-movie season. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfTrigiani doesn't push the material into any energetic directions, but she does capture the sway of the town, better with atmosphere than dramatics. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyThe movie ambles along amiably enough for a while; it’s better if you are a fan of one or more members of the cast. |

| Philadelphia InquirerMolly EichelThe plot itself has little momentum, and what should feel dramatic instead feels inert. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreA novel setting surrenders to a seriously corny rural romance with not nearly enough laughs to put it over. |
