Full Plot Details

Near the Everglades, the "river of grass," lives Cozy (named for her father's favorite drummer), lonely, in a loveless marriage, ignoring her kids. She fantasizes being a dancer, an acrobat, and a gymnast. One night at a bar she meets Lee. He's jobless, homeless, and unbeknownst to Cozy, is in possession of her father's handgun. Dad's a cop and lost the gun chasing a robber. Cozy and Lee climb a fence to swim in a pool. Playing around with the gun, they think they kill the pool's owner, so they go on the lam. An odd partnership develops even though they're short on ideas. But how can they escape their barren lot if they don't even have a quarter for the road toll?

Movie Reviews

Brooklyn Magazine - 10/10 by Jonathan StevensonThis unassumingly brilliant filmmaker illuminates the sense and flavor of this disconsolate epoch in all its unheroic vexation.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Jay CarrKelly Reichardt's film is a wry, appealingly raggedy look at the impossibility of conjuring up excitement from boredom.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kevin ThomasAt every turn, Reichardt confounds predictability, confronting us with the awful banality of many people's everyday lives rather than providing her characters with an escape from it. Yet Reichardt is so agile, ingenious and funny that she can make a lively, entertaining movie about how life isn't like the movies.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Melissa AndersonReichardt pays clear homage to Breathless and Badlands, but her movie, the title of which is a local name for the Everglades, operates in its own ecosystem, teeming with the droll, shrewd observations about downwardly mobile life explored more solemnly in Reichardt's next two films, Old Joy and Wendy and Lucy.
The Film Stage - 8/10 by Michael SnydelRiver of Grass isn’t able to reach the peaks of Reichardt’s later monumental work, but it’s educational in mapping out her concerns as a filmmaker and a stirring reminder of her abilities as a visual stylist.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Brian TallericoThe kind of meandering apathy that Reichardt is going for in River of Grass can be tough to connect to as a viewer, and it’s interesting that her films became more resonant when they switched from what is kind of a comedy to drama.
AV Club - 8/10 by Mike D'AngeloIf one were to watch this jagged, restless movie with no knowledge of who made it, guessing that it sprung from the same mind that created "Old Joy" or "Meek’s Cutoff" would be impossible. Intuiting that this gifted novice filmmaker would go on to bigger and better things, however, would be child’s play.
eFilmCritic.com - 8/10 by Rob GonsalvesThere's an element of wit in Reichardt's minimalism here that isn't present in her later, more somber work.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by James LattimerKelly Reichardt's film is a wry, appealingly raggedy look at the impossibility of conjuring up excitement from boredom.
The Tyee (British Columbia) - 8/10 by Dorothy WoodendThe odd rhythm of things keeps you off-balance, a little like the percussive score that infuses the story with a dizzy propulsive force that is weirdly gleeful in its own bleak fashion.
