Leave your thoughts about Lake City.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteGarity, son of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, gives the kind of performance rarely seen in today's movies. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...ultimately establishes itself as a compelling little drama... |
| L.A. WeeklyMichelle OrangeAdded to the general torpidity and twangy tropes of this Southern family drama is the discomfort of watching a natural actor (Garity) force it. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenFeels like a movie whose story was slapped together during filming. Its three phases -- Southern pastorale, Sudsville and Kablooie -- don’t really connect. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayAll the performers are fine--even the miscast Romijn--but they're still too much like actors playing dress-up. |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberThe film is effective in its intimate moments as well as its violent set pieces, and it could attract audiences, primarily because of Spacek's superb performance. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisThere is very little wasted motion, to be sure, but also very little real-life like ambience. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleWith 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. |
| Christian Science MonitorRobert KoehlerThe astonishingly inept finish could serve as a primer in screenwriting classes on how not to wind up a family drama. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe story is as impersonal as it is labored. |
