Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 8, 2005 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central Rated: 5/5 Sep 29, 2003 Full Review Dan Lybarger Nitrate Online This look at the making of "The Last Picture Show" and "Texasville" has some eye popping revalations. It's too bad the clips from the first film are reproduced in such a blurry manner. Rated: 3/5 Jun 7, 2003 Full Review Scott Weinberg Apollo Guide A solid hour-long documentary, and one that offers a few surprises between the fascinating conversations.

Audience Member ★★1/2 (out of four) I must first say that I absolutely love the film "The Last Picture Show". It is one of my favorite movies from the 1970's and amongst my favorite ever made. For that alone the documentary is worth seeing. It gives us a glimpse into the making of that classic, while promoting the sequel "Texasville". There is some old footage and some new interviews with cast members and crew from "The Last Picture Show", as well as thoughts from many townfold of Archer City, Texas, the town Larry McMurtry used as inspiration for his book. Some of the interviews are interesting and reveal things like the difficulties of working with Timothy Bottoms on the set. But, for the most part the documentary does not reveal too much. It seems just a way to promote the new film.

Made while he and the cast were making the sequel, Texasville. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
