100
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Like Malick's "Days of Heaven," it is not about plot, but about memory and regret. It remembers a summer that was not a happy summer, but there will never again be a summer so intensely felt, so alive, so valuable.

100
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Green tells the tale through leisurely, eye-catching shots that allow the young cast members to imbue their characters with striking credibility and intensity.

90
The New York Times
A.O. Scott
This dream of a movie is set in such a place; with its delicate shifts of tone, it could be a fairy tale by Faulkner

90
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Green has created a work of startling originality that will haunt you for a good, long time.
90
LA Weekly
Ella Taylor
May turn out to be the finest American indie of the year.

89
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Director David Gordon Green has made a work of uncommon beauty and intelligence, one that is smart enough to trust its characters and the technical contributions of its crew.

88
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A picture about America with the blinders off, a film about heroism that makes you chuckle and feel sad - and a film about childhood that lets us reenter that lost world and see the grass, sky and sunlight the way they once looked, in the golden hours.
83
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
A peculiar combination of willful meandering and matter of fact violence, and it occasionally confounds in its attempts to exalt.

80
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
It's at once brilliant and inept.

80
Time
Richard Corliss
It stands, soars on its own. It moves to a seductive rhythm and vision.
75
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
For those willing to work a bit at it, this is the sort of artistry many American independent movies aspire to - but rarely achieve.
75
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Although rough, it's a gem.
75
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
None of the children are professionals, and their uncontrived performances lend a painfully real quality to what becomes a rather lyrical story.

75
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
A first-rate student film, but not much more.

75
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Hardly perfect or fully successful, but it's strange and strangely beautiful -- a unique work of art.

70
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Has memorable characters and images. Yet the story is elusive and occasionally puzzling, and some of the ideas are amorphous and self-conscious.

63
Charlotte Observer
Lawrence Toppman
He (writer/director David Gordon Green) fired his arrow straight at a worthwhile target, but it fell a little short.
50
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Stylized to the point of poetry.
