Lone Star is well-deservedly one of the most acclaimed American Independent films of all time. Its creative use of cinematography used to take the viewers 40 years into the past encapsulates the viewer in a way that all exposition fails to close towards. The film’s discussion on Anglo, Hispanic and Black tensions is patiently investigated yet unresolved similar to the film’s mystery itself. The town of Frontera lives in the past yet simultaneously buries its past and the dark secrets it contains. Overall, this thriller is incredibly entertaining and worth an evening watch if for no other reason that pure entertainment and mystery.
