Critic Reviews

David Sterritt

This modest drama is a touching tribute to the late Argo, a character actor you'll instantly recognize. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

More than the story of a disillusioned old man, Lustre is a loving tribute to New York. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

But if the storytelling is murky, the filmmaking is stunning and, more important, the passion for this city -- its people and landscape -- is pure. Read full review

R. Emmet Sweeney

Hank Sartin

Jones's script leans too heavily on the familiar device of blurring illusion and reality, but his view of the urban landscape is beautiful and distinctive. Read full review

Lisa Nesselson
