Reviews


100
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Drugstore Cowboy is one of the best films in the long tradition of American outlaw road movies - a tradition that includes "Bonnie and Clyde," "Easy Rider," "Midnight Cowboy" and "Badlands."
100
TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Gus Van Sant's direction here is supremely confident, fusing witty camerawork, neat editing, and a jazz-oriented score to make Drugstore Cowboy an exhilaratingly bumpy ride.
90
Variety - Unnamed
No previous drug-themed film has the honesty or originality of Gus Van Sant's drama Drugstore Cowboy.
90
Washington Post - Hal Hinson
Van Sant gives his material shape and an invigorating, syncopated style. It keeps coming at you in surprising, dazzling ways.
89
Austin Chronicle - Marjorie Baumgarten
Certainly one of the best drug movies ever made.... Great performances make this dispassionate study a memorable experience.
