Movie Reviews

Seattle Times - 9/10 by John HartlWonderfully confident and strange, Take Me to the River marks an auspicious directing debut for Matt Sobel. There’s not a stale moment in it.
East Bay Express - 9/10 by Kelly VanceYou'll have to see for yourself what a slender plot line, well-chosen parts, and skillful directing can achieve with a handful of rich characters and a deceptively peaceful setting.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Peter KeoughDespite outstanding performances, the characters lose subtlety as they grow more extreme, and their secrets when spelled out become anticlimactic. Maybe with a little more mystery, the evil would seem less banal.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Molly EichelThe movie pivots from what I expected it to be: a family drama about an outsider, as the opening conversation suggests. Instead, it becomes an eerie mood piece about secrets buried deep in a family's fabric.
San Jose Mercury News - 8/10 by Randy MyersAt a time when many films can be viewed and summarily forgotten, "River" unsettles and lingers long afterwards -- just like the ghosts that haunt this family.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Robert AbeleTake Me to the River reaches its end sadder and wiser if not satisfactorily complete as a psychodrama. But Sobel thrives on the unevenness, and it gives his admirably off-putting wade into fractured-family waters its own specialized charge.
Eye for Film - 8/10 by Jennie KermodeLike Disney in a minor key, the film's focus is on the true nature of family.
AV Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayWith just a few minor tweaks, Take Me To The River could play as a moody supernatural horror picture, with Logan as the dangerously curious hero being warned away from an evil he shouldn’t confront.
The Skinny - 8/10 by Rachel BowlesTake Me to the River manages to maintain suspense for its entire 84 minutes, juggling comedy, dread, horror and tragedy, while never losing its naturalistic style.
The Playlist - 8/10 by Rodrigo PerezSure to baffle some, it’s a weird movie that isn’t actively weird, but what’s striking about the picture is Sobel’s point of view and confidence. While the movie is amorphous and porous, it’s clear this is exactly what the filmmaker is going for, and that’s certainly bold for a first timer.
