100Like 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.
-
100Green tells the tale through leisurely, eye-catching shots that allow the young cast members to imbue their characters with striking credibility and intensity.
-
90May turn out to be the finest American indie of the year.
-
90Green has created a work of startling originality that will haunt you for a good, long time.
-
90This dream of a movie is set in such a place; with its delicate shifts of tone, it could be a fairy tale by Faulkner
-
89Director 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.
-
88A 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.
-
83A peculiar combination of willful meandering and matter of fact violence, and it occasionally confounds in its attempts to exalt.
-
80It's at once brilliant and inept.
-
80It stands, soars on its own. It moves to a seductive rhythm and vision.
-
75None of the children are professionals, and their uncontrived performances lend a painfully real quality to what becomes a rather lyrical story.
-
75For those willing to work a bit at it, this is the sort of artistry many American independent movies aspire to - but rarely achieve.
-
75Although rough, it's a gem.
-
75Hardly perfect or fully successful, but it's strange and strangely beautiful -- a unique work of art.
-
75A first-rate student film, but not much more.
-
70Has memorable characters and images. Yet the story is elusive and occasionally puzzling, and some of the ideas are amorphous and self-conscious.
-
63He (writer/director David Gordon Green) fired his arrow straight at a worthwhile target, but it fell a little short.
-
50Stylized to the point of poetry.

MattO.6Well done,but definitely overrated. I find DGG's movie have great characters in plots that are threadbare.
