Leave your thoughts about Galveston.
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesAn elegantly simple film that doesn't need any fancy gimmicks and thrives on the strength of its performers, script and impeccable direction. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA sort of modern film noir peopled by flawed figures with bleak prospects, one that offers a pervasively downbeat ambience but not much dramatic insight. |
| The PlaylistChristian GallichioWhat we are left with is far from a perfect film, but Laurent is a confident director who elevates the pulpy plot of Pizzolato’s novel into a unique reflection of characters on the margins of society. It, also, probably doesn’t hurt that she has Foster and Fanning at the top of their game to deliver the material. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloThis latest film isn’t entirely successful — Pizzolatto’s book stubbornly resists first-time screenwriter Jim Hammett’s efforts to reshape its narrative for the screen — but it confirms Laurent as a significant talent behind the lens, particularly adept at building queasy tension. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkFoster and Fanning are predictably great together, cut from the same bayou cloth, both doing what they must to get by, but the script gives them too little to work from. Instead, there’s only enough material for a few touching, if not heavy-handed moments along the way. |
| FilmFedDouglas DavidsonReplete with thoughtful character work by Ben Foster and co-star Elle Fanning and immersive direction by Melanie Laurent, Galveston is a lingering cinematic experience. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzGalveston is the film equivalent of a familiar, not too special song that's been brilliantly re-arranged and performed. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliBleak and gripping, Galveston offers a compelling experience for those who don’t demand pure escapism and are willing to sample the darker side of cinema. |
| VarietyPeter Debruge"Galveston" is tough, uncompromising, and hauntingly believable, just a little too slow and a lot too serious for today's typical action audiences. |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergWith shadowy imagery that pushes the boundaries of visibility and a mumbly lead performance from Ben Foster that strains the limits of intelligibility, Galveston goes past film noir and lands at film murk. |
