Critic Reviews of "The Newton Boys"
Washington PostJanuary 08, 2018As portrayed by Matthew McConaughey in his first fully satisfying screen performance, Willis Newton regards his three younger brothers and their associates as social rectifiers who take money only from the real thieves: bankers and their directors.
VarietyJuly 23, 2006A handsome production that nicely evokes the 1920s and a likeable cast headed by McConaughey can't compensate for a Western-gangster film that's too diffuse and lacks a discernibel POV to be dramatically engaging.
TheMovieReport.comDecember 27, 2004Like the Newtons themselves, the film never goes for the kill.
Kalamazoo GazetteJuly 03, 2003Linklater seems to understand the root of McConaughey's appeal stems from his wild side. Casting McConaughey as someone noble and high-minded... is like hiring Madonna to play a housewife.
Film Journal InternationalSeptember 09, 2002There's little nuance in the straightforward, chronological way the tale is told--it's hard to point to a scene that's worth discussing after you've left the theatre.
MovieMartyr.comMarch 05, 2002Linklater's genuine regard for his characters and fidelity to his setting are his strongest directorial traits.
Christian Science MonitorJanuary 01, 2000These are fetching performers, but their built-in energy is about all The Newton Boys has going for it.
