After his father (Peter Bogdanovich) fails him, med student Peter Hadley (Jeremy Strong) spends a night drowning his sorrows and awakens in a tiny community on Northern California's Lost Coast, where his hosts, Jack (Brad Dourif) and Rosie (Frances Conroy), live off the grid and grow marijuana. Peter's totally out of his element in this town of counterculture horticulturists, which could prove to be the reality check he needs.

Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics: 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. full review

Maureen M. Hart, Chicago Tribune

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. full review

Joe Leydon, Variety

Possibly it might be of some interest with the right amount of buzz, but then so is a passing cloud. full review

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

Humboldt County has an impressive cast and captures some of that era's fuzzy rebelliousness and humanism, but taken on its own the picture is finally thin stuff. full review
