Critics' reviews
- "It's one of the best surprises of the holiday season."
- "A wonderfully acted, acutely observed psychological drama."
- "A remarkably thoughtful drama"
- "Notable for its power of surprise and its refusal to immediately clarify the confusion of these lost souls."
- "Haunting, powerfully acted, penetratingly written, it's about people coming home -- and not coming home"
- "While viewers who expect a conventional suspense film may be disappointed in Lantana overall, it does succeed on a smaller, more intimate scale."
