With Larroy, Texas, Atkinson proves himself a confident filmmaker and screenwriter with an ear for dialogue and skill in designing intriguing characters and situations. Read full review

Watching “LaRoy” is a lot like the seedy motel affairs that all of its characters seem to be having — two hours of fun, followed by a tragic feeling of emptiness and a desire for a shower. Read full review

It’s that assured blending of emotions that makes “LaRoy, Texas” a sturdy tonal journey—a film enamored with those living on the fringes of respectability—that bodes well for whatever freewheeling story Atkinson hopes to tell next. Read full review

LaRoy is the work of a director with unmistakable joy for this genre, approaching the material with a welcome earnestness. Read full review

There's an aloofness to the violence that gets more morbidly funny as the film goes on, but LaRoy, Texas does not trust its darker sensibilities and the last 15 minutes drift back into a conventional lane and away from the bizarre and fiendish tone that was unexpectedly working up until that point.
