Lone Star | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

As a graveyard of forgotten dreams spawns a truly revolutionary vision of the future, it's clear that it is precisely Sayles' willingness to confront myth, reality and responsibility... that makes Lone Star a film of such grandeur.

This brilliant film, the year's best so far, has the feel of a novel, but what... John Sayles has really created is epic cinematic poetry. It's resplendent with border-town atmosphere, heated by torrid weather and searing emotions.

The geographic space of Lone Star has a singular historical, psychological and emotional resonance within the intimate life of those who inhabit it. [Full review in Spanish]

John Sayles' Lone Star contains so many riches, it humbles ordinary movies. And yet they aren't thrown before us, to dazzle and impress: It is only later, thinking about the film, that we appreciate the full reach of its material.

Lone Star offers all the satisfaction of a deftly structured, deeply intelligent novel or a luminous canvas for the imagination -- not to mention a mirror for the subjective processes of memory and desire.
