	Author	Review
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"'Lowriders' offers an insightful contemporary snapshot of some of Los Angeles’ easternmost neighborhoods"	POS
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"The melodrama’s creaky, but the milieu shines (...) 'Lowriders' isn’t always persuasive, but it has plenty of heart"	NEU
United States	Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice	"A sleepy earnestness both ennobles and afflicts Ricardo de Montreuil's fathers-and-sons story"	NEU
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"A pleasant surprise (...) The film offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of souped-up cars, and it’s distinguished by a terrific cast"	POS
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"Demian Bichir and Eva Longoria are fine in cliché-riddled drama (...) It’s dispiriting to watch 'Lowriders' make every predictable move"	NEU
United States	Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"Far more creativity went into the various cars’ hood murals than into the screenplay (...) When a film’s narrative is this bland, its milieu really needs to pick up the slack."	NEG
United States	Los Angeles Daily News	"A successful love letter to So Cal’s car culture, street art and Latino heritage and a less inspired tale of family conflict (...) The players know how to make it bounce and rev"	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"There’s nothing subtle about this examination of cultural and generational clashes (...) They do a nice job, though, of slipping in explanatory tidbits to help along those unfamiliar with the lowrider world."	NEU
