I just wish there was more to its critic of the traditional way of living vs the characters choice. That would have made the tragic climax more palpable. Go to Full Review Shawn Edwards Fox 4 Kansas City 02/07/2022

While this low-key story doesnt quite fulfill its promise, Lotawana is nonetheless a smart and visually creative drama. Go to Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews 02/05/2022

Director-and-everything-else Hawkins shows his talent on many levels, from eliciting effective performances from his tiny cast to showing a skilled cinematographers eye and talent as an editor. He is a fully formed filmmaker and I want to see more. Go to Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene 02/04/2022

I found myself... simultaneously fascinated by Hawkins’ atypical storytelling and visual panache and mildly irritated by the film’s refusal to give us any sort of backstory that would tell us how our protagonists came to be the people they are.

a production that would be the envy of much larger budgeted films. "Lotawana" is beautiful, with strikingly edited montages escorted into the film by Ryan Pinkston's lovely piano score and top notch sound mix. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

greg r @itsgregsworld 05/10/2022 Absolutely fantastic! Cinematography. Casting. Atmosphere. Story. All of it. Brilliant. This! Is art! See more Steve S 04/16/2022 I was a journey of self discovery with surprising twists. See more 03/10/2022 Why is it that women are always the ones who bring about the fall of innocence? This is just another (misogynistic) retelling of the garden of Eden. A woman worth this guy's time--if he'd been mature enough to pick an emotionally healthy woman!--would have just gotten the abortion and that would have been the end of it. Or left him to get a job and strike out on her own. Instead we have another movie about a dumb guy experiencing the just rewards of not knowing how to assess another person's character before getting romantically attached. See more cindi r 03/04/2022 The moment the movie started I was immersed in the story and lead characters. The acting was so honest, open, and raw. The cinematography was breathtaking - simply gorgeous. Director Trevor Hawkins is a rising star. The movie stayed with me for several days after I watched it. I highly recommend this film. See more 02/28/2022 We saw a screening of this movie as a group at a theater in Kansas City, the area where it was filmed. We had a turnout of 150 people and the response was very positive. The photography and music score are excellent. See more 02/21/2022 Beautiful! The cinematography is outstanding and sets every scene even without dialog. This is how you convey ‘feeling' in a motion picture - an art that is a rare find these days. See more Read all reviews
