Tex Ratings & Reviews
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
The characters are vividly real, especially the confused, searching Tex of Matt Dillon, a natural-born star, and the solid, sensible Mason of Jim Metzler, who is also destined for an important career.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
A very frank and gritty story about two brothers.
TV Guide
Dillon, though occasionally annoying, turns in a decent performance, as do Jim Metzler as his brother and Meg Tilly as his girlfriend.
Variety
Variety Staff
Writers Charlie Haas and Tim Hunter (latter making his directing debut) seem intent on incorporating every conceivable adolescent and adult trauma into their script.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
A stirring, memorable early performance by Dillon
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There is a shock of recognition almost from the beginning of Tex, because we're listening to the sound of American voices in an authentically American world.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
This is a film that accomplishes everything that it attempts, and does so expertly. On its own terms, it is a success through and through.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Tex explores the stressful relationship between two brothers living without adult supervision.
Apollo Guide
Elspeth Haughton
Like Hinton's novels, Hunter has directed a compassionate and astute depiction about growing up.
