Leave your thoughts about A River Runs Through It.
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksThis is a movie that is not only highly entertaining but will remain etched in the memories of audience members for some time to come. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackA skilled, careful adaptation of a much-admired story, A River Runs Through It is a convincing trip back in time to a virtually vanished American West, as well as a nicely observed family study. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertRedford and his writer, Richard Friedenberg, understand that most of the events in any life are accidential or arbitrary, especially the crucial ones, and we can exercise little conscious control over our destinies. |
| The New York TimesCaryn JamesA River Runs Through It, Mr. Redford's beautiful and deeply felt new movie, puts him in an entirely new category as a film maker. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis is a beautifully-shot film, and director Robert Redford (who also provides the voice-over narration) has paid painstaking attention to detail. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumBrad Pitt's breakthrough...a nostalgic, fine telling. |
| MovieholeClint MorrisA truly remarkable film. Redford's direction is unmatching. |
| Austin ChronicleHollis ChaconaA pure cinematic distillation of Maclean's words, it is by turns austere and vibrant, disconsolate and joyful. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatPresents uplifting messages about family, siblings, and the spiritual solace of mastery in a sport. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrIt is a serious and, at times, moving film, and it deserves serious analysis. |
