The film *Galveston* contains some genuinely powerful scenes, but its sluggish rhythm and lack of significant events create an uneven feel, shifting between a captivating crime story and drawn-out, predictable drama. Mélanie Laurent demonstrates potential as a director, provided she can move past the habit of portraying familiar tropes as if they were fresh and groundbreaking narratives. Ben Foster and Elle Fanning both deliver solid performances, even when their roles offer little substance.
