1.5/4
Thanks to the excellent if a little on the obviously-pictorial-side cinematography by Robert Barocci, you've seen some lovely vistas on the way to indifference. Go to Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times Nov 6, 2015
Remove the charm and the Depression-era aura from "Paper Moon" and you have "Lost in the Sun," a road movie that goes nowhere particularly interesting. Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Nov 5, 2015
Despite some scenic territory, there's just not much to this journey, leaving "Lost in the Sun" feeling like a short story stretched way too thinly toward feature length. Go to Full Review Mark Abraham Paste Magazine Nov 12, 2015
3.8/10
At every minute in this film, you know where it's going, because nothing that happens in any of the 130 minutes of this film works at all if the movie doesn't get there. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Nov 9, 2015
It's a story of redemption and reconciliation that follows a well-worn path and strains credibility as it meanders along. Go to Full Review Oktay Ege Kozak The Playlist Nov 7, 2015

"Lost in the Sun" is a technically proficient but achingly typical gloomy southern crime drama, one that audiences can seek out if they exhausted every other similar film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Cj M @RT59672923 Jul 19, 2025 The movie is shot and acted well. Both leads do a good job Josh Duhamel is good in the father figure role, and his son played by Louis is also good in the role. The twist near the end is actually good. There is a lot of good stuff in this film. See more Francis T @RT44849489 Apr 14, 2025 Do not listen to pretentious critics.
