Gun Hill Road Reviews
Gun Hill Road is shot through with performances at once intense and relaxed.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 21, 2011
Feels like it's been workshopped, from its string of coincidences to its tidy downbeat conclusion in which Green stabs at irony with a dull knife.

Before some predictable, freedom-threatening recidivism on Enrique's part, the film exhibits a simultaneously anthropological and sensitive interest in Michael's day-to-day life...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 11, 2011
In writer-director Rashaad Ernesto Green's assured hands, "Gun Hill Road" manages somehow to be gritty, delicate, in your face and nuanced at the same time.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 11, 2011
Tenderness and good intentions don't necessarily add up to a movie.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 5, 2011
A coiled feeling hangs over writer-director Rashaad Ernesto Green's assured, engrossing feature film debut.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 3, 2011
Even with the rich, inherently cinematic texture of the urban setting and two excellent native outer-borough actors in Morales and Reyes, Gun Hill Road falters thanks to its paint-by-numbers storytelling.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 3, 2011
Though two late plot developments are borderline-contrived, Green's direction is marked by mature dramatic and aesthetic understatement.
| Aug 2, 2011
...the character's internal conflict registers with tremendous detail that transcends his progressive value. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie can't keep pace.
| Aug 1, 2011
When Rashaad Ernesto Green keeps his camera trained on Harmony Santana's Michael, the film brims over with interest and insight.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 31, 2011
A tired though vigorously acted story about a father confronted with a son who wants to be a girl.
| Feb 8, 2011
Writer-director Rashaad Ernesto Green's first feature is earnest and well cast, but less involving than it should be.
