The Canyons Reviews

Aug 20, 2024

Laughed my way through it. It watches much like The Room. Lohan is a diamond in some very rough rough, however.

If you understand high camp this is for you!

It's worth watching for a good laugh at just how terrible this is.

The movie is very dislikable due to the poor acting and chemistry among the actors.it feels like a high school project. Lindsay Lohan has great scenes though. The very first scene of the movie, it looks like she’s the only actor in the room. I guess if you can put all that aside the story might be tempting.

Espantosa. Mal actuada (aunque Lindsay es la única que está relativamente bien) y con una historia aburridísima, de triángulos amorosos de manual.

Lindsay Lohan was phenomenal in this

We need to be able to rate with negative stars on this one.

Slightly amateurish on a few levels but more watchable than the hype against it implies. Lohan should take acting more seriously. She is certainly the best performer here.

This movie was physically painful to watch. Terrible acting on all fronts and a confusing plot. Huge disappointment from the man who wrote Taxi Driver and Raging Bull.

I was expecting much more from this film, with a great writer and director involved. It had a somewhat smarmy charm set in Los Angeles but I just couldn't be convinced to care.

This was a horribly made movie. Aside from the horrible acting, the choice of music when transitioning scenes, what was weird was the audio throughout the movie. The actors voices were sometimes clear and then sometimes not clear, and typically when that happens you know the film was a low budget movie.

I didn't think much. I have always admired Lindsay Lohan for her acting skills but this movie was very underwhelming and the worst acting of her career. Mostly the movie was boring and just blah.

Don't believe the haters. This is a good film, particularly for fans of Paul Schrader's work.

A original take of the Hollywood nightmare, power, lust, toxic relationships this movie has it all and more Lindsay's character is the bridge between good and evil.

I love this movie is so iconic in many ways it`s going to be a cult classic.

Awful movie. Don't waste your time.

Don't believe the negative reviews. I just picked this up used DVD. Lohan is really good, and Deen plays his character really well. The cinematography is good, if a bit non-conforming in the overall visual feel of the movie. It was an indy film, probably nobody got paid good money for an overall art direction feel to it. Get over it. Its a tale of a chick hanging on and a guy with a trust fund supporting her. They work that out thru online hookups that get filmed. She does people, he does people. It gets filmed. Welcome to Hollywood. Its not great, but its not as terrible as the reviews would have you believe. If u wanna stream it from somewhere, or u find it in a bargain bin - GRAB IT. Its worth a watch

So this was a notorious project because of the presence of the notorious Lindsay Lohan. The thing is it is not a horrible movie. It's not a great movie for sure and someone else would have been better in the role LL plays in the movie, type wise, but she's OK if a bit sad and puffy looking, not great for someone in her mid-20s. But maybe on second thought appropriate for the role of a fading Hollywood woman with a very dim future. It turned out the most notorious person in the movie is the male lead, James Deen. He came from porn where he performs bisexually, I have not seen any of these movies. He is one of the few contemporary male porn performers with name recognition. The gossip goes that he was brought into the project via Bret Easton Ellis who wanted him. He is a little weak but good enough in the role even though there was no reason that a porn actor had to do this, there is not that much sex on screen in the movie. He does bring a definite smarminess to the role. I kept seeing him in Overexposed: The Anthony Weiner Story. Anyway, he plays a bratty LA mega trust fund guy who produces movies. Lohan plays his girlfriend who is basically doing what Charlie wants which is mostly be involved with hook-ups with other people which he likes to record on his phone. They have an encounter in which she gets him to do something with another man and around the same time he thinks that she is seeing someone else who he doesn't know about. All this causes a blow out of his need to control her resulting in nasty wayward brutal emotions. The question is: Is James Deen basically playing himself and are the nasty scenes in the film, brutality to women, reflective of his actual life? (He has since been accused of brutality toward women by a couple of victims.) And: Did Ellis know this and for that reason put him in the movie? Paul Schrader has had a really brilliant career. I hope he gets to make another movie after this. The themes in the movie, well worth looking into, are more successfully explored in an older movie Star 80 by Bob Fosse. An excellent move.

A vapid film that drags, so yeah, not the best combination. Lohan and Deen are equally bad.

Aug 14, 2016

A movie produced for US$ 250.000, but certainly looks much more big budget: Great camera work, a haunting song at the end ("Coming Down") and I do like Lindsay Lohan. The story is nothing to remember. For the good stuff: 3 stars.
