Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com Thanks to the excellent if a little on the obviously-pictorial-side cinematography by Robert Barocci, you've seen some lovely vistas on the way to indifference. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 6, 2015 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times Remove the charm and the Depression-era aura from "Paper Moon" and you have "Lost in the Sun," a road movie that goes nowhere particularly interesting. Nov 6, 2015 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Despite some scenic territory, there's just not much to this journey, leaving "Lost in the Sun" feeling like a short story stretched way too thinly toward feature length. Nov 5, 2015 Full Review Mark Abraham Paste Magazine At every minute in this film, you know where it's going, because nothing that happens in any of the 130 minutes of this film works at all if the movie doesn't get there. Rated: 3.8/10 Nov 12, 2015 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue It's a story of redemption and reconciliation that follows a well-worn path and strains credibility as it meanders along. Nov 9, 2015 Full Review Oktay Ege Kozak The Playlist "Lost in the Sun" is a technically proficient but achingly typical gloomy southern crime drama, one that audiences can seek out if they exhausted every other similar film. Rated: C Nov 7, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Still, it's done well enough. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/20 Full Review Audience Member This is a film that will play over and over on premium television. Easy to watch and easy to root for the featured characters. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member ok heist/caper drama Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Linda A R This film shows the nothingness in life. Existing from day to day with no real purpose or meaning in a dreary world of no opportunity. With all the nothingness springs up genuine care and devotion. With no rationale springs up meaning and purpose to living inspite of hardship and pain. In loneliness and isolation a true friendship develops on what is truly good and permanent - Love. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/16 Full Review Audience Member A road movie that extended to a different level of bonding between two. I was not overwhelmed by the overall film yet a very enjoyable film for the wonderful direction and the beautiful character displays. The first thing I remembered was 'Paper Moon', but it was when 'Last Ride' meets 'Natural Born Killers'. Clearly, it dealt with its own concept, but I won't deny the influence of those titles this film has. So I believe the writer has been inspired by them. If you like the road films, then you might enjoy it as well, even though you're not desiring to give high marks. It begins when a 13 year old boy who lost his mother embarks a journey with a stranger to go and live with his grandparents who are on the other end of the country. On their way, the two struggles with their differences, especially in the conflict of interest to take such a trip. But they end up developing a close bond which is at one point comes to tear them apart. It did not live up to my expectation. Actually, I was not having any expectation because I came to know about it a while ago before finished watching it. Without the character development how much a story going to impress its audience, but this film did by letting them to figure it out by themselves. There is a twist and other turns in the tale, but everything's very easy. So the film kind of interested me, just for keeping everything simple and telling a tale with a good speed, but obviously not an original or anything extraordinary. Josh Duhamel was amazing, his role along with the kid's make you watch it. Especially after the 'Spotlisght', every a film with priests in it freaks me out like the one from this. Anyway, this is not a must see, but not bad to ignore completely. 6/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
