Critic Reviews of "Sling Blade"
New York TimesMay 08, 2002An abundance of long, flat medium shots that rob the film of intimacy and give it a sleepy pace.
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 14, 2001A mesmerizing parable of good and evil and a splendid example of Southern storytelling at its most poetic and imaginative.
Film.comJanuary 01, 2000In Sling Blade, Thornton lays claim to the title of hyphenate of the year.
Salon.comJanuary 01, 2000By its midpoint, however, Thornton has begun forcing both the film's poetry and the preternatural goodness of its simple-minded protagonist, and Sling Blade's sweet charms begin to curdle.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000Sling Blade takes you down paths full of primitive, almost biblical implications, but it also finds comic relief in moments of palpable tension.
Old School ReviewsFebruary 15, 2012Much of the audience appeal relies on the film's simplicity
EmanuelLevy.ComJuly 22, 2011Marking Billy Bob Thornton's debut as a director and solo writer, Sling Blade is a powerful southern gothic parable about good and evil.
Movie ViewsAugust 28, 2009Well acted, a multi-leveled story and a pure honesty make Sling Blade one of my favourite films of the 1990s.
Groucho ReviewsAugust 12, 2009Thornton brings three key ingredients to the table: distinctive, rich, authentic Southern locations, patient and painterly atmosphere, and a precise and fresh character to study. [Blu-ray]
Movie MetropolisAugust 01, 2009Thornton offers a subtle, thoughtful script, generally sensitive direction, and an understated performance, uh-huh.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsJuly 23, 2009Excellent character study of a mentally challenged person.
