Movie Reviews of A River Runs Through It
Movie Review: Why I like this movie?
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not much of a fishing movie fan. But after watching this movie over 10 years ago, to make a long story short, I bought a fly fishing reel the next day and once I got the money to buy a fly rod, I bought a nice one. Got addicted to fly fishing and got better at it too. This movie is like a Jeep thing. It's either you like it or you wouldn't understand--the point that is. It's not about the river, it's about men and fishing. It just so happens you need a river to fly fish. Luckily I have one here.Movie Review: Wonderfully crafted film
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert Redford has a way of making the written word come to life on screen. He did it with Ordinary People and he repeated it with "River"The scenery in this movie is breathtaking. It sets the tone for the whole movie.
The acting, as well, is top-notch. In my opinion this is Brad Pitt's finest hour. Before he became the heartthrob he is today - which often brings out bad movies by the dozen - he excells as the rebellious Paul Mclean.
This movie will touch your soul.
Movie Review: Should be ranked as a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
"River" has it all - the sure direction of Redford, excellent script and acting, and the breathtaking beauty of Montana. This is a nuanced film about two brothers on divergent paths and their complicated relationship with each other and their dad. But it's not corny or maudlin. The fly fishing sequences are symbolic in many ways. This is a great film all around, but would be worth buying just for Craig Sheffer's performance alone.Movie Review: A rare pleasure
Summary: 5 Stars
A rare and special movie. There is an ineffable, poetic quality about this movie that touches deeply. Few movies capture so well the bittersweet passing of youth to maturity, constrained love, the wonder of the moment. This is a masterful work by Redford. The understated performance from Tom Skerritt as the preacher father is right on. Brad Pitt and Craig Sheffer play of each other well. Watch and enjoy.
Movie Review: A Keeper
Summary: 5 Stars
There are few movies that I'm willing to purchase, only those that I enjoy seeing again and again. This is without a doubt one of those films. Brad Pitt, Craig Sheffer, Tom Skeritt, Emily Lloyd et al, all gave fine performaces. Redford's narration of a great Norman Maclean novel and the scenic Montana views added immeasurably to my enjoyment of this film. This is one for folks of all ages!
