Leave your thoughts about Lustre.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThis modest drama is a touching tribute to the late Argo, a character actor you'll instantly recognize. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoMore than the story of a disillusioned old man, Lustre is a loving tribute to New York. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisLustre is a post-Sept. 11 love letter to a New York past that Mr. Jones clearly mourns. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirBut if the storytelling is murky, the filmmaking is stunning and, more important, the passion for this city -- its people and landscape -- is pure. |
| Chicago ReaderHank SartinJones's script leans too heavily on the familiar device of blurring illusion and reality, but his view of the urban landscape is beautiful and distinctive. |
| Village VoiceR. Emmet SweeneyThe film is marred by a reliance on cheap DV effects, but authenticity strains through in the performances. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghThe film's woozy, digital-video gorgeousness is undeniable, and the glittering shots from atop the Brooklyn Bridge could make a tough guy weep. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayArgo's job should only be a minor piece of this Gotham mosaic, but Jones makes the racketeering scenes so familiar that they grate against the rest of the movie. |
