Leave your thoughts about The Hottest State.
| SlateDana StevensA viewing of The Hottest State is likely to conclude with a crosstown sprint of a different kind: As soon as the credits start rolling, you can't wait to get out. |
| Newark Star-LedgerLisa RoseThe film is best appreciated as a meditation on celebrity psychology. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliHawke has made this movie his way and the result is a story that is by turns romantic and disquieting. It's well worth the price of admission. |
| Entertainment WeeklyScott BrownWhatever you're imagining -- self-serving self-awareness; unedited hipster mopes; yammering dear-diary script -- The Hottest State, Ethan Hawke's bathetic tale of a good-looking young actor's first heartbreak, is far worse. |
| Metromix.comMatt PaisA charming piece of sadness about love's all-consuming, confusing power and its ability to heal and wound only seconds apart. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad Derakhshani[Director] Hawke's sincerity - especially in his terrific new film, The Hottest State -- is also his saving grace. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard RoeperIt's a small film, it's a mild recommendation, but I still think it's worth checking out. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThis is a beautifully made, involving film, but it would have been so much stronger with a bit of careful editing. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThe dialogue comes off as too carefully planned and too precious, and Webber's overly physical performance doesn't seem to match the character's insecurity. |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoMoody relationship drama is best for adults. |
