Laurel Canyon Ratings & Reviews
Denver Post
Vic Vogler
Never reaches the bar it sets for itself.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
McDormand is superb. Likewise Bale and Nivola.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
Self-discovery seems to be the goal, but the revelations hardly seem worth the work.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Laurel Canyon's end isn't entirely satisfying, but the story works.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
Fizzles out in the third act, but we're long past caring. By then, Frances McDormand has usurped the movie and turned it into a lesson in character acting.
Dallas Morning News
Jane Sumner
More obvious and superficial with, except for Ms. McDormand, rather soapy and cartoonish elements.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It's a pleasant, good-natured film that's easy to enjoy.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A flawed but smart independent film whose virtues outweigh its flaws, and whose virtues are distinct.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Too stilted and pre-programmed to come alive.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
[A] tame exercise in hedonism and self-discovery.
Chicago Tribune
Loren King
An engaging, entertaining glimpse into the lives of musicians nestled in the titular Hollywood Hills enclave.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
Thank goodness for Nivola ... who makes a charming degenerate, and McDormand in her sexiest role to date. They make up for a bunch of sins.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The movie has poise and a lightly perspiring sexiness, but also an uncertain sense of humor...
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
If there is one reason to see Laurel Canyon, it's to witness McDormand in the kind of role she's long deserved.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Thanks to the performances and the general looseness of the script, the movie is more appealing than it has any business being.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
All the performances are strong, but McDormand, Bale and Nivola's are most powerful.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
[McDormand] makes both the character and her Laurel Canyon sanctuary feel genuinely lived.
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
Cholodenko ... takes the scenario beyond clich by creating a raft of fully fledged characters and giving the tale a generational twist.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Laurel Canyon may be more a vibe than a movie. And that's precisely its power.
