Drugstore Cowboy Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
Gus Van Sant's Drugstore Cowboy is a road movie on opioids.
Southern Voice (Atlanta)
Terry Francis
Drugstore Cowboy understands the pleasures and release that drugs can give people, and also how it finally bottoms out their souls.
Toledo Blade
Tom Ensign
In all, Drugstore Cowboy has a few highs, but generally, this is a light dose of viewing valium.
OutWeek
Peter Bowen
Drugstore Cowboy offers a deeply moving and profoundly beautiful film.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
All the actors are used expertly, but it's Burroughs, cropping up near the end, who articulates the film's sociopolitical moral in a contemporary context.
Variety
Variety Staff
No previous drug-themed film has the honesty or originality of Gus Van Sant's drama Drugstore Cowboy.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Forthright junkie film.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Lyrically shot, this chronicle of a bunch of bumbling petty-criminals who steal pharmaceuticals is a tad too straightforward by Van Sant's standards, but the dialogue is funnt, the mood nonchalant, and Matt Dillon is terrific in the lead.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The film takes us so deeply into this shabby, transient world that we feel its texture -- both its scary thrills and its bleak, fatalistic uncertainty.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Certainly one of the best drug movies ever made.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie stars Matt Dillon, in one of the great recent American movie performances.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Ultimately it's Dillon who has the biggest score; he makes this stark trip a heady, hopeful one.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
The performers make their affectlessness expressive.
