Lincoln, who's not yet 18, leads a straight life most of the time: he has a girl friend, goes to dances, jokes with guys. But he also has a secret life, in which he's drawn to dark places where he has sex with men he doesn't know. One night, while visiting a gay video arcade, he connects with John, a Vietnamese-born gay man, in his 20s probably, whose father was an African-American US soldier. John invites Lincoln to spend some carefree time with him, and Lincoln takes him to his father's boat. John then convinces Lincoln to take the boat into the Mississippi delta, where setting off some fireworks out of season precipitates betrayal and revenge.
Leave your thoughts about The Delta.
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumStylistically captivating, subtly nuanced, and structurally unpredictable. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasSachs allowed his actors to develop situations and dialogue through improvisation, giving the film a meandering, naturalistic feel. When plot does assert itself, in the abrupt closing scenes, the effect is truly disconcerting. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackThis moody film, set in muggy Memphis, exudes a dangerous veracity that's both exciting and poisonous. |
| VarietyEmanuel LevySachs commits a major error by deciding to center on Lincoln’s character, for John is a far more interesting, complex and disturbing personality. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenA film that's alternatingly intriguing and frustrating and that leaves too many loose ends dangling. |
| Austin ChronicleRussell SmithOn a more basic level, I simply found it so hard to penetrate the two main characters' cauterized psyches that, in the end, I hardly gave a damn what happened to them. |
| The A.V. ClubJoshua KleinWhile the structure of The Delta—sort of a tag-team narrative that begins with Gray and switches to Chan halfway through—is an intriguing touch, this gritty film never follows through on the issues it raises. |
