Sal Reviews
AV Club
Ben Kenigsberg
Despite its modest proportions and chilling finale, Sal is foremost an affectionate tribute, conjuring ample warmth out of relatively little.

James Franco's lovingly crafted, if minimalistic, cinematic ode to Sal Mineo - the actor most famous for his Oscar-nominated role opposite James Dean in "Rebel Without a Cause" - succeeds due in large part to Val Lauren's thoughtful portrayal.
Slant Magazine
Nick McCarthy
It functions under the delusion that subtext will magically appear if you linger on a character long enough, and the significance of most of its scenes is nothing if not inscrutable.

All we do is wait through uneventful hours with the protagonist until their foreordained death comes as a kind of finale and release.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
As always, Franco demonstrates a talent for and interest in composition, performance, and the naked human moment.
Battleship Pretension
Mat Bradley-Tschirgi
By focusing on one day in Sal Mineo's life, Sal feels more intimate than other biopics. The strong lead performance of Val Lauren as Sal Mineo provides a fascinating glimpse into the life...

Nicholas Bell
While the subject is intriguing, Franco's amateurish rendering would make a marvelous film school project, one that's neither compelling nor as provocative as it thinks it is.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
In other words, "Sal" is not all that different from most other films from directors fresh out of film school - ambitious, accomplished and with room to improve.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Franco's visual sense and skill with atmosphere are strongly evident here, but, unfortunately, not enough happens in the movie.
