Movie Reviews of A River Runs Through It
Movie Review: Critics just make me laugh
Summary: 5 Stars
"Preachy"? "Self-Important"???? Good grief... Some people just feel the need to throw insults at anything. This movie was a rock solid story of a family conflicted on many different levels, but love still remained. Togetherness still remained, no matter how far apart they were physically, or the depths one of them may fall. What a great movie this was. Also, the cinematography and music was outstanding, capturing every moment. It's a shame that some people forget about the entire scope of a film, and just want to jump on the negatives. You'd really have to go out of your way and come up with BS like "self-important", or start jumping on the "Hollywood liberals" to rate this any less than 4 stars.Movie Review: Redford shows his director's vision
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a film about family relationships. Craig Sheffer and Brad Pitt are brothers Norman and Paul. The are brought up in Montana by the minister father (Tom Skeritt) and mother (Brenda Blethyn). The family passion is fly fishing. When things go wrong they go to the river and fish.
Norman goes to college and becomes a writer. But Paul rebels against everything (except fly fishing.)
This is a director's film. That means it is more of a visual film than a story driven film. The cinematography by Philippe Rousselot is beautiful. Just sit back and enjoy.
DVD EXTRAS: None
THIS IS FOR THE STANDARD VERSION NOT THE DELUX EDITION.
Movie Review: A better story has never been told...
Summary: 5 Stars
This has always been one of my favorite movies. Fly fishing with my father is beyond that of just an excersise in play. There is a spirituality about being out on the river with a pole in hand, casting inner releases to the sky, and the river. This DVD does not come with many extra features on paper, but being able to watch this movie in true cinematic form is the greatest feature of all. The sunshine of the river at dawn, the greens and browns of Montana, truely breathtaking. In my opinion, this is the greatest story ever told, and is told with that much more emotion when seen through DVD.Movie Review: Beautiful cinema
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has some amazing cinematography. I've only been to Montana as a kid for very little time, but I wish I could visit again. The movie is about two different brothers brought up in Montana their father plays an important role in the movie also. There are scenes of fly fishing in this movie that are worth the price of admission. Also this film is well narrated by Robert Redford, it never distracted me and that's hard to do with a star that has such a familar voice, but it fits in so well. A gem, that may not be for all action film fans but a drama that will please many.Movie Review: Admittedly, not for everyone.
Summary: 5 Stars
Some people will complain that it's pace is slow, while others will praise it's deliberateness. Some will say it's boring, while others will say it is restrained. All in all, I think your mood when you see it will most impact your opinion. That being said, I found the film to have an almost magical quality as it tells the story of a family trying to make their way in a changing world. If you demand quick edits, a high-concept plot, and cliched paper-thin drama, the movie certainly is not for you. If you can accept the pacing, this movie cuts deep.
