Newly graduated psychiatrist Sam and his fiancee Alex move to Los Angeles for Sam's residency and into Sam's mother's house in upscale Laurel Canyon. Only problem is, Sam's mother is still there, supposedly finishing up a record that she's producing for the band of her new boy toy, Ian. She seems more interested in smoking pot and drinking than actually working though. Alex doesn't mind but Sam is quite upset. Alex starts off focused on her work (finishing a dissertation on genomics), but is soon distracted by the rock-'n-roll lifestyle going on around her. Meanwhile, Sam is equally distracted by beautiful Israeli intern Sara.
Leave your thoughts about Laurel Canyon.
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesIt pulled me in with its friendly, inclusive, nonjudgmental appraisal of human nature. |
| San Jose Mercury NewsGlenn LovellThank goodness for Nivola ... who makes a charming degenerate, and McDormand in her sexiest role to date. They make up for a bunch of sins. |
| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoBut what holds the film together is Frances McDormand's riveting, unapologetic performance as Jane. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldThe cast is as likable as it is improbable (especially Nivola, who all but steals the movie as the charmingly decadent rocker). |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternCholodenko takes us inside a bohemian hive where everyone buzzes around the Queen Bee. McDormand is superb. Likewise Bale and Nivola. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon Popick'Where could all this be going? you might wonder. Sadly, the answer is 'Nowhere.' |
| Movie BoeufDavid N. ButterworthReal people, real situations. "Laurel Canyon" is a keeper. |
| Entertainment TodayBrent SimonLaurel Canyon isn't about philandering but it's about something just as real: emotional drift. The film captures with razor precision the subatomic electric spark between two people who are feeling and fighting an attraction to one another. |
| NetflixJames RocchiRock-and-roll tale of temptation in paradise looks great ... and works thanks to McDormand's fearless performance. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussMcDormand seems to know how to get the most out of the smoggy material, giving one of her most natural and appealing characterizations. |
