Leave your thoughts about Causeway.
| TheWrapSteve PondNeugebauer, Lawrence and Henry deliver an unhurried gem that might feel slight but always feels right. |
| We Got This CoveredMartin CarrUnderstated but no less powerful for it, Causeway will remind audience what Oscar winning actors can do. |
| New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottA small, wonderfully minimalist film that nonetheless packs an emotional wallop while delivering a beautifully heartbreaking portrait of the power of human connection. |
| The Associated PressMark KennedyCauseway, directed by Lila Neugebauer with a straightforward honesty, sounds more manipulative and manufactured than it is. At its best, it’s a quietly affective portrait of unlikely friends hoping they can help each other make it to the shore. |
| Time OutAnna SmithBy leaning into those relatable complexities, Causeway will offer plenty for fans of thoughtful, quality dramas that touch on humanity, trauma, connection and the kindness of strangers. |
| Slant MagazineJosh WiseIt’s to Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry’s credit that what lingers is their characters’ uncertainty. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattIt's nice to see actors like these do such subtle, sympathetic work for a gifted young director — and to find an outlet for storytelling that doesn't demand neat redemption, but still allows for grace. |
| The PlaylistCharles BramescoThe double character piece excels most when Neugebauer does her thing and facilitates her actors. Together, they build a pair of utterly real people, nonetheless confined to a dramatic universe more prone to contrivance. But the pleasures of the former generally outweigh the irksomeness of the latter, with Lawrence and costar Brian Tyree Henry joined in as a super-generator of onscreen magnetism. |
| The TelegraphTim RobeyCauseway is an excellent, moving, determinedly low-key slice of US indie cinema. |
| Austin ChronicleJenny NulfCauseway is at its most successful when the film is patient, giving the space to have its characters ruminate over how their past experiences don’t have to define their futures. It’s the kind of film that only succeeds with incredible performances to back it up, and Neugebauer achieves that with Lawrence and Henry guiding her film in such a touching, beautiful way. |
