Movie Reviews of The River
Movie Review: 50/50
Summary: 3 Stars
This is simply the kind of film that one will either like or dislike. I really can't see there being two-ways about it.
It has only been a year or so since I emersed myself into the world of independent/international/arthouse/whatever you want to call it, films. The River is not for the novice!
I forced myself to finish the film because I felt it was important to at least give the director's vision a chance before judging. I am glad I did. The film has no music in it, all you get is the natural ambiance of the characters surroundings. That kinda leaves a haunting echo over each scene.
Movie Review: slow agonying fast forward-button movie watching experience
Summary: 2 Stars
i love artistic movies...but what happened to this one? it's a strange movie indeed. viewing from an artistic point of view, it may make some sense, but with lots of forwarding. if you like slow artsy movie, watch "scent of green papaya" instead.Movie Review: Another dud from an overrated director.
Summary: 1 Stars
...Ming-liang Tsai's films drag along endlessly with no direction and, quite frankly, no real acting. The River is a story which could have been easily and effectively told in 30 minutes, but instead it drags on for two hours. Scenes are needlessly drawn out and tell the viewer rather little. This is not avant-garde or alternative film making...
