ReelViews James Berardinelli Despite a generous helping of sex and other depravity, Schrader proves unable to hold our attention. The culprits are numerous but dissecting the problem doesn't change the result. The Canyons is a sleazy soap opera that fails primarily because it gives us no one to care about and no reason why we should be interested that we don't care. | 10 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers What we have here is dead on arrival. | 5 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Oppressively misanthropic and ineptly made, The Canyons serves as a sour footnote in Paul Schrader's career -- but it does feature some decent late-period work from Lindsay Lohan. | 5 | |
