Review of The Canyons (2013)

By Liz Braun (961) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 31 Jul 2013

Weird and creepy is pretty much what's on offer in The Canyons, but not so much of either that it gets interesting…

Review of The Canyons (2013)

By Matt Pais (1,519) for RedEye (906) on 31 Jul 2013

Resembling the all-time dullest episode of MTV's 'Undressed,' The Canyons unfolds like Lifetime tried to make a Cinemax movie…

Review of The Canyons (2013)

By Linda Barnard (586) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 31 Jul 2013

The Canyons, a howlingly bad soap-opera-meets-soft-core-porn mash-up, sticks a cinematic fork into Lindsay Lohan, signalling her screen career…

Review of The Canyons (2013)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 31 Jul 2013

Lindsay Lohan's raw, passionate, haunted performance is easily the best thing about The Canyons, a film that depicts the superficial and passive-aggressive…

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 30 Jul 2013

Schrader tries to find the human side of it all, and he scores with Lohan, who taps a vulnerability beneath her dissolution to remind you why…

By Matt Singer (625) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 30 Jul 2013

If Schrader and Ellis set out to prove that movies are dying or already dead, they might have done their job too well…

Review of The Canyons (2013)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 30 Jul 2013

This highly ballyhooed, self-and-kickstarter-financed, low-budget film from director Paul Schrader and screenWriter Bret Easton Ellis certainly…

Review of The Canyons (2013)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 30 Jul 2013

This pitiful would-be-sleazy melodrama is so terrible it can't even manage to be cheesy…

Review of The Canyons (2013)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for McClatchy-Tribune News Service (291) on 29 Jul 2013

You’d have to go back to the ’80s to find a film with this jaded a view of Hollywood, a town where every aspiring actor knows every yoga…

Review of The Canyons (2013)

By Matt Patches (283) for Film.com (1,892) on 29 Jul 2013

The Canyons has all the elegance and depth of a daytime soap opera, peppered with flashes of name brand nudity for a tantalizing hook. It’s a slog…

Review of The Canyons (2013)

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for Indiewire (3,631) on 29 Jul 2013

Review of The Canyons (2013)

By Rodrigo Perez (382) for The Playlist (3,871) on 29 Jul 2013

The cavernous emptiness of The Canyons cannot sustain itself, and it makes for a mostly flat, strained and uninvolving experience (not helped…

Review of The Canyons (2013)

By Joshua Rothkopf (1,058) for Time Out (7,510) on 29 Jul 2013

Review of The Canyons (2013)
