Hawke quite capably taps into the bittersweet complexities of young, love-struck idiocy. Full Review

Personal and heartfelt, it's nevertheless bogged down by a lack of perspective on the material and a pointlessly frilly visual style. Full Review

A viewing of The Hottest State is likely to conclude with a crosstown sprint of a different kind: As soon as the credits start rolling, you can't wait to get out. Full Review

Hawke has made this movie his way and the result is a story that is by turns romantic and disquieting. It's well worth the price of admission. Full Review
