Be prepared: Humboldt County is a slow starter. But what appears to be the cliched uptight nerd liberated by flighty sprite tale evolves into something deeper, darker, more resonant.

An amiably paced, character-driven comedy-drama about a disenchanted student who finds himself among the unreconstructed hippies and second-generation fringe dwellers who farm marijuana in the Lost Coast region of Northern California.
Joe Leydon, Variety
Rotten
Possibly it might be of some interest with the right amount of buzz, but then so is a passing cloud.
Kyle Smith, New York Post

So much pot is smoked in the agreeable drama Humboldt County that you may come away from it with a contact high.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Fresh
Though the movie achieves that New Hollywood contact high only in fits and starts, this familial drama still leaves a pleasant buzz.
David Fear, Time Out New York
