Reviews

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."

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.

Variety
No previous drug-themed film has the honesty or originality of Gus Van Sant's drama Drugstore Cowboy.

Van Sant gives his material shape and an invigorating, syncopated style. It keeps coming at you in surprising, dazzling ways.

Certainly one of the best drug movies ever made.... Great performances make this dispassionate study a memorable experience.
