It doesn't go where you think it's going to go, but it's very well done.

New York Times

It’s Coon’s charming performance of the eccentric victim-to-be that brings the film, written and directed by Jeffrey Reiner, into fuller focus as a crime comedy.

In a way, the film is almost a love letter to this beautifully vast, isolating, and underappreciated part of California.

Rated: 3/4

The Screen

Lake George never loses sight of how tragic and broken its protagonists are (infused with a painfully relatable loneliness), heading towards a fate that’s virtually predestined.

More a black comedy noir than a thriller.

Lake George is a topsy-turvy crime thriller that has touches of dark comedy and is mostly watchable because of the compelling lead performances from Shea Whigham and Carrie Coon. Some of the movie's dialogue is a little forced, but the story is engaging.

An insurance adjuster who get involved with a mobster and ends up going to prison for ten years comes out and is given an assignment from the mobster - kill the mobster's wife. The problem is that the now ex-con is "a good guy." The mobster's wife tells him that and he doesn't have it in him to kill her. Enjoyable, funny in spots, not bad overall.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Beautifully shot, tense movie with amazing performances by the lead actors. I happened upon this by chance and I’m so happy I did.

I don't know why this movie got such high critic scores. It wasn't terrible, just boring af. The scenery was more interesting than the story, that's for sure.

Reminded me of the Corn Brothers film Blood Simple. Top notch acting from all. Dark and light at the same time.

It sneaks upon you. At first the pace and story development make you second guess your entertainment choice and you start searching for your remote in the sofa cushions. But wait! The tale, like the characters, drives you to curiosity to figure out where it all will end up. No need to spoil it for you but I will say accurately that Lake George is beautiful.
