The Canyons is a 2013 American erotic thriller-drama film directed by Paul Schrader and written by Bret Easton Ellis presented on DVD.
It's not the hills. When Christian, an LA trust-fund kid with casual ties to Hollywood, learns of a secret affair between Tara and the lead of his film project, Ryan, he spirals out of control, and his cruel mind games escalate into an act of bloody violence.
The Canyons Movie Reviews
“Schrader tries to find the human side of it all, and he scores with
Lohan, who taps a vulnerability beneath her dissolution to remind you why
she's still a movie star.” Entertainment Weekly
“People who don't understand movies often speak of them as escapism, a kind of passive fantasy. Lohan's performance in The Canyons, so naked in all ways, is the ultimate retort to that kind of idiocy: To watch it is to live in the moment.” Village Voice
