Editorial Review:
This made-for-television adaptation of Lanford Wilson's play stars Kevin Bacon as a troubled young man who is trying to come to terms with his unfortunate upbringing. Featuring a standout performance from Kyra Sedgwick, LEMON SKY is a powerful family drama.
Lemon Sky Reviews:
I want my 96 minutes BACK!!! What a JOKE!!! 
2008-12-22 - Some movies should never have been made, and this is one of them! Even 'Gigli' is way better and more entertaining than this BOMB! The film is based on a play, and does not translate well to the film medium. It is extremely BORING and TEDIOUS, and essentially takes place in a kitchen, living room, and bar. You will have to sit through an hour and a half of inane dialogue that cures insomnia. Yes, there are innovative visual lighting/panning film techniques, but they don't make up for this miserable excuse for a film. I sat through this with my jaw agape, wondering if it would get better towards the middle or the end. It didn't! Essentially, if you setup a camera in the kitchen of a dysfunctional family, and let it run for 96 minutes, you would get this ridiculous movie. It's no coincidence I found this DVD for three dollars in the 'bargain bin' at a major box retailer! 'Nuff said.

2008-07-05 - Lemon Sky is a good movie. I'm a Kevin Bacon fanatic, and now I own all of his movies.

2007-12-06 - I love Kevin Bacon, but I hated this movie. I tried fast forwarding to see if it got better...but it did not.
Don't waste you time.
2007-10-26 - Everyone that gave this crap a 5 star rating must be part of the "artsy fartsy" crowd. I got it today, watched it and threw it in the trash. I won't resell it because I would hate to think I foisted this loser on anyone else.
Simply Amazing 
2007-09-21 - I cannot say enough good things about LEMON SKY. It will change all preconceived ideas you may have about Kevin Bacon. It is quite simply his best work. But he's also given a beautiful script and equally up to the task ensemble. (Where have you been Lindsay Crouse?!?!?!?)
I recently showed it to my students for playwriting and they were blown away. Tears were streaming after. It takes a seemingly simple story of a father/son relationship gone sour and lifts it to poetic heights. Yes, it's that good.
