thiago s @Thiagostone Jan 12 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Tyler P. @TylerPhoenixMD Jan 1 Really cool movie! Solid acting all the way through, super interesting original story. Kept me engaged the whole time, it’s a good watch for sure! See more Janis E @JansEd Nov 29 All the actors are used expertly, but it's Burroughs, cropping up near the end, who articulates the film's sociopolitical moral in a contemporary context.

See more Mason M @RT73597940 May 12 I have mixed feelings about the works of Gus Van Sant, I think his films are often very well-made, but they often don't work emotionally for me. And even though this film didn't work entirely for me, I do think this is by far the best film I've seen from him. This was an interesting and emotional take on the druggie, with the druggies in this film having much more complexity than the average drug addict depicted in film. And Van Sant's dreamy and hazy imagery works at its best with Robert Yeoman, my favorite cinematographer, working on the film. Matt Dillon gives an incredible performance as always. And I was really amazed by how complex all of these characters are, with so many hopes and aspirations beyond getting another hit. And I must add on that this film has one of the better opening credit sequences that I've seen. Drugstore Cowboy is Gus Van Sant at his best, with his style working towards making this intricate, smart, and emotional take of drug addiction.
