Chilling, superbly acted. Full Review

Carla Meyer
San Francisco Chronicle

To see strong acting like this is exhilarating. In a time of flashy directors who slice and dice their films in a dizzy editing rhythm, it is important to remember that films can look and listen and attentively sympathize with their characters. Directors grow great by subtracting, not adding, and Eastwood does nothing for show, everything for effect.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Mystic River is the rare American movie that aspires to -- and achieves -- the full weight and darkness of tragedy.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

A major American motion picture, an overpowering piece of work that involves some of the most basic human emotions: love, hate, fear, revenge, despair. Directed by Clint Eastwood with absolute confidence and remarkable control.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

Clint Eastwood pours everything he knows about directing into Mystic River. His film sneaks up, messes with your head and then floors you. You can't shake it. It's that haunting, that hypnotic.Full Review
