Leave your thoughts about The River Why.
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairThe River Why suffers from a pervasive lack of authenticity that inevitably (and ultimately) renders its few positive attributes moot... |
| User ReviewCameron LRead the book then go see the movie. Like most movies, the book is better. However, by itself the movie is enjoyable, even to a native fly fisherman/Oregonian like myself. Well filmed and the plot does make one smile now and then. It is the best movie I have seen this year so far. However, that isn't saying much. |
| User ReviewSarah SGreat love story set in a beautiful location. Anyone who enjoys the outdoors and romance will enjoy this movie! |
| User Reviewivan wLovely story, beautifully told. This is a gorgeous setting in which talented actors bring us a tale of the outdoors as well as the human internal landscape. Well done. |
| User ReviewTerry BReally loved it!!! Good story, well acted, great characters....totally enjoyed every minute. |
| User ReviewMuneeb Afine emologial fusion. Love for NATURE is the supreme of all |
| User ReviewDallin PGood movie from a great book. Not just fishing: good coming of age and love story as well. A must read |
| User ReviewRoni AThis got a 4-star rating on behalf of my husband...we rent a lot of films and randomly take chances at indies that may or may not be worth the time taken to watch them. But this was a really nice film. It was nice all the way through, and left you feeling reconciled with the world,of indie films and even life itself, in a way. Well, not really...it wasn't THAT deep. However, The River Why is a nice story about a young man finding his way, his manhood, his soul's connection to God (too vague for my taste, but a good try), friendship, true love, and the value of family. It had some adventure, romance, and gorgeous cinematography. I am moving to Oregon. Bye. |
| User ReviewRichard FAs good as a film about fishing and faux philosophising can be. |
| User ReviewSusan CLiked it, Was filmed in Oregon on the Wilson river. Nice scenery. |
