Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

The film, written and directed by Michael S. Ojeda, shows a sure sense of noir style and a toughness that lasts right up to the very final scene, which feels contrived and tacked-on. Read full review

J.R. Jones

Harsh but moving drama. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

This genuinely ambitious and accomplished Chicago production does have strong points, not the least of which is Lana herself. When the fiery, emotionally transparent Orlenko lets her talent and presence pour down on Lana's Rain, the movie springs to life. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

At roughly the halfway point, the movie turns into a low-budget gangster picture, which sacrifices character and themes to the kind of action mayhem all too commonplace in studio thrillers. Read full review

Robert Koehler

It ends up a grinding, ludicrous depiction of a thuggish Bosnian's abuse of his sister. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

Clumsily under-written and feverishly overacted, it's as embarrassing to watch as it is perplexing. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Michael S. Ojeda's film is so relentlessly shallow and excessive that it hardly matters whether Lana is eventually able to turn the tables on Darko. When it rains in Lana's Rain, it pours -- and what comes out is trash. Read full review
