Leave your thoughts about Tex.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie is so accurately acted, especially by Jim Metzler as Mason and Matt Dillon as Tex, that we care more about the characters than about the plot. We can see them learning and growing, and when they have a heart-to-heart talk about going all the way, we hear authentic teenagers speaking, not kids who seem to have been raised at Beverly Hills cocktail parties. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinThis is a film that accomplishes everything that it attempts, and does so expertly. On its own terms, it is a success through and through. |
| Associated PressBob ThomasThe characters are vividly real, especially the confused, searching Tex of Matt Dillon, a natural-born star, and the solid, sensible Mason of Jim Metzler, who is also destined for an important career. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowA very frank and gritty story about two brothers. |
| VarietyVariety StaffWriters Charlie Haas and Tim Hunter (latter making his directing debut) seem intent on incorporating every conceivable adolescent and adult trauma into their script. |

| User Reviewjasmin lThis is an amazing movie. Matt Dillon was really good at portraying Tex and I found it nice to see him play a softer more friendly role after he played Dallas Winston in The Outsiders, although he was excellent there too. I read the book and it's also very good |
