Movie Reviews

The New Yorker - 10/10 by David DenbyMystic River is hard-boiled beyond toughness: It's so tender the skin falls away from the bone. It's Eastwood's most soulful, and most organic, movie.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversClint Eastwood pours everything he knows about directing into Mystic River. His film sneaks up, messes with your head and then floors you. You can't shake it. It's that haunting, that hypnotic.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Dana StevensMystic River is the rare American movie that aspires to -- and achieves -- the full weight and darkness of tragedy.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumEastwood directs Mystic River with an invigorated grace and gravitas. This is a true American beauty of a movie, a tale of men and their bonds told by and for adults who value the old-fashioned Hollywood-studio notion of narrative.
Portland Oregonian - 10/10 by Shawn LevyEastwood has crafted one of the most powerful American dramas in years.
Dallas Observer - 10/10 by Robert WilonskyThe performances are uniformly remarkable.
Premiere - 10/10 by Glenn KennyPerhaps the greatest, most affecting articulation of the theme Eastwood has been exploring since 1990's "White Hunter Black Heart": how violence--real violence, not movie violence--perpetrated and experienced, can erode and/or obliterate the human soul.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Desson ThomsonEastwood's elegantly directed Mystic River, a deeply textured drama in which the sins (or perceived sins) of the past weigh heavily on the present.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 10/10 by William ArnoldMoves along its course and overflows at its climax with that indefinable but unmistakable assurance of a master filmmaker who knows just what he wants to say, is in total command of his medium and is in no mood to make any compromises.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranA major American motion picture, an overpowering piece of work that involves some of the most basic human emotions: love, hate, fear, revenge, despair. Directed by Clint Eastwood with absolute confidence and remarkable control.
