A story of a teenager and the strange events that take place in his small town.
Leave your thoughts about Lake Tahoe.
| OregonianStan HallIf you're patient -- the beautifully composed wide-angle camerawork helps -- the reason for the protagonist's down-in-the-mouth behavior emerges, and finally from the languor comes a sweet little payoff. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoWith Lake Tahoe, Mexican filmmaker Fernando Eimbcke proves himself adept at turning a blank screen into a work of art. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghFortunately, Eimbcke's laconic if fanciful storytelling strengths ring more true than his somewhat artificial and hackneyed visual style, which includes a penchant for lengthy wide-angle shots that make the world look like a feverishly alien place. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerEimbcke's Jarmusch-ian comedy is laced with something stronger. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisExquisitely captured in natural light by the cinematographer Alexis Zabé, Juan’s journey is framed by sherbet-colored houses and lemon sidewalks, dipping palm fronds and a burnished, turquoise horizon. The director calls his style "artisan cinema"; I just call it dreamy. |
| FilmwellJeffrey Overstreet[Eimbcke finds] warmth, humor and grace in these ragged environments. Once we learn the cause of Juan's malaise, images we've already seen take on extraordinary significance. |
| Playback:stlSarah Boslaugh[Lake Tahoe is] a small, calm movie that will take you into another world... |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn offbeat droll black comedy that worked for me in the Zen way it made its seemingly simple tale poignant and compelling in such a unique way. |
| Boxoffice MagazineRichard MoweCould be quirky enough to ensnare devotees of indie film. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisEimbcke's droll rhythms are reminiscent of early Jim Jarmusch and Aki Kaurismäki--here stylistically appropriate for a film about social and emotional inertia. |
