Leave your thoughts about The Tribes of Palos Verdes.
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"Verdes" isn't an upbeat film, but the production doesn't get caught in the undertow of despair, managing to find a level of alarm that keeps the story engrossing while it surveys some desperate emotional issues. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeThough the story was written almost two decades ago, it’s a microcosm for the kind of wall-building mentality that has taken hold of the mainstream today, and the Malloy brothers achieve a kind of tragic poetry that sticks with those who make it a point to seek this one out. |
| Film ThreatBradley GibsonThe Tribes of Palos Verdes is one version of a story you've seen before. Sometimes cautionary tales bear repeating and when it's this beautifully photographed you'll be drawn in quickly and enjoy the ennui with the California sunsets. |
| FF2 MediaAmelie LaskerThe Tribes of Palos Verdes has a gorgeous stylistic mood. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlGarner erupts and expectorates with winning zeal. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsTravis HopsonIt's a competent effort that captures the mood and atmosphere of a gilded paradise that may as well be on another planet. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe dynamics at play are genuine, even if the movie does take at least one melodramatic turn too many. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThe directors and screenwriter Karen Croner are attuned to the different ways that Phil and Sandy selfishly draw their kids deeper into the domestic mess. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThere’s a compactness to it all that I appreciate (“Big Little Lies” had more incidents, but like all limited-run cable series, the story drips out like molasses in winter). But the story and story arc here are truncated and can leave the viewer still-interested and somewhat dissatisfied when all is said and done. |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsIn another movie, their hard to articulate relationship might be compelling, enigmatic, appealing. Here, though, it's tragedy around the corner, at once too obvious and too elusive. |
