Yash B @yashbansal May 24 There is a lot to admire in "Drustore Cowboy." The acting is good and realistic, and the cinematography and editing both stand out. Unfortunately, this is just one of those movies that I found boring otherwise. I wanted to get into the storyline, but it just didn't grab me at all. I found myself struggling to get through it at times, and even the exciting moments didn't engage me as much as I would have hoped. Overall, this is an acclaimed movie that didn't resonate with me, and I personally found it to be a difficult watch, despite some noticeable technical qualities.

Solid acting all the way through, super interesting original story. Kept me engaged the whole time, it’s a good watch for sure!

And even though this film didn't work entirely for me, I do think this is by far the best film I've seen from him. This was an interesting and emotional take on the druggie, with the druggies in this film having much more complexity than the average drug addict depicted in film. And Van Sant's dreamy and hazy imagery works at its best with Robert Yeoman, my favorite cinematographer, working on the film. Matt Dillon gives an incredible performance as always. And I was really amazed by how complex all of these characters are, with so many hopes and aspirations beyond getting another hit. And I must add on that this film has one of the better opening credit sequences that I've seen. Drugstore Cowboy is Gus Van Sant at his best, with his style working towards making this intricate, smart, and emotional take of drug addiction. See more Read all reviews
