FilmBath 2024: ‘Lone Star’ Review
Stars: Chris Cooper, Kris Kristofferson, Matthew McConaughey, Elizabeth Peña, Joe Morton, Stephen Mendillo, Oni Faida Lampley | Written and Directed by John Sayles
A major figure in independent filmmaking, writer/director John Sayles began his career working with the legendary Roger Corman and is now considered one of the greatest screenwriters in film history. One of his best-regarded works is his tenth feature, Lone Star, a masterpiece which earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Screenplay. Despite such glowing reviews, lacking availability made this film a struggle to watch for the longest time, although that has thankfully been rectified due to a Criterion release. As part of Cinema Rediscovered on Tour, this film was available to see on the big screen across the UK and Ireland, and it is thanks to FilmBath that I received the opportunity to see this for myself.
