Laurian D Not much happens here. This kind of (pretty generic) story should have been told in about 90 minutes but it dragged for more than two hours and featured a pretty convenient and inplausible conclusion. Worth a watch and that's about it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review Jeremiah C Not a particularly complex film, but it does feature a poignant depiction of love and the loss of it. McConaughey and Sheridan are fantastic in it, and the others do a good enough job with their roles to keep me invested in the story, which lacks in substance and intrigue. It is not an action film, a thriller, or a love story, but it keeps teasing that it might become one or all of the three at any moment. But nothing happens. I don’t think anyone wins or loses anything. That the movie never becomes much of anything by the end besides a glimmer of hope for the young protagonist’s future love life left me looking for another far more interesting movie as soon as the credits rolled. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review Rob A A very good drama about a lovestruck man (Matthew McConaughey) hiding out on an uninhabited island in the Mississippi River off the coast of Arkansas. He's on the run but hopes to abscond with beautiful yet battered Reese Witherspoon when two curious teenage boys discover him there. The film is different and unique and Tye Sheridan was excellent as young Ellis. With an exciting climax, I must admit - I've seen it twice.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/06/25 Full Review christopher s Mcconaughey brilliant as usual. A solid watch! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Blu B A Classic Drama. Really well made all around. McConaughey is the best thing and that's saying a lot acing wise because everyone is doing good here. Solid direction as well. It's a prison escape movie mixed with a coming of age story. It reminds of Labor Day ony this succeeds way more where that struggled. The only issue is sometimes it has trouble tying in the boys personal drama/romance subplot with the prison story although it all does come together well enough in the end. The setting is very memorable, the final action scene is really good, and it's a very satisfying conclusion. It's a very unique type of film that anyone who is a fan of dramas, coming of age stories, the director or any actors in this should give a try with.
