Leave your thoughts about The River Within.
| User ReviewTammy VThis movie has a wonderful lesson to be learned by us all. |
| User ReviewJack While this movie suffers somewhat from budget issues (occasional sound glitch, a couple of rough transitions, an obviously non-professional supporting cast), it is one of the better, and possibly the best Faith-based film I have seen in a long time. The story line was well developed and has a fantastic payoff and was not at all cheesy (a rarity for the genre). The cinematography is at times wonderful. The lead actors are solid. And the music was pretty good, too. The message challenges the church to be more transparent and attentive to those within their sphere of influence (which I found to be very relevant), and it is delivered in such a way that both convicts and uplifts the viewer. Definitely worth the watch- especially if you are looking for something that is family friendly. |
| User ReviewBarbara VThis movie avoided the cheesy, Christian, cliche-ness most religious movies have. It had a very stripped feel, largely in part because of the extremely low budget of the movie, which worked in its favor. It also tackled issues not usually addressed in Christian films. Bravo. |
| User ReviewKyle A"The River Within" is, at it's most basic, a film about small town life and the confusion of trying to find your place in this world. It's, by far, the most worthwhile film I've seen in quite a few years dealing with those subjects. The most admirable thing about "The River Within" is that, unlike most films of its kind, "TRW" truly captures the essence of a small town and the lives of the people in it. Being from Small Town, USA, myself and others become really critical of how films portray the people and locale, and "TRW" does a fine job of that. It's realistic and unbiased in its portrayal of the lives of these people. The characters, most especially Paul and David, are solid. While watching the film, it's easiest to connect with these two and their different problems.That's another thing that's admirable about "TRW;" the problems are relatable to most everyone, whether you grew up in a rural, urban, or suburban community. Everyone knows someone who's dealt with the loss of a family member, or an unplanned pregnancy, or an oppressive parent, or small-town or church politics getting in the way, or regretting never following their dreams. David, the church pastor, is a good man, but he's not infallible. He's real, he has complications, and he's blind to them. I'm sure plenty of actual church pastors are much like him and find themselves in those situations sometimes. The actor, Craig Morris, fills the David role perfectly. The other truly great character, Paul, has is own set of issues that are revealed in time, and the way actor Craig Luttrell hints at the problems before they finally surface is very good. This is better noticed on a second viewing. Genre limitations aren't as prevalent in "TRW," and I think that's what makes these characters better than their counterparts. The film is beautifully directed by first-time-director, Zac Heath, and nearly all of the acting is spot on. It has its shortcomings here and there, but for the small budget and genre limitations, the film is among the best of its kind. It brings to mind tiny films like "Paranormal Activity," "El Mariachi," and "The Blair Witch Project." Not that "The River Within" is like any of those films subjectively, it's just that they all have that really-good-for-the-budget feel, and they're landmarks in their genres. "TRW" feels like it could be the beginning of a genre transformation. Overall, the film has a great story, events, and characters. It's nice to see a tiny film be so engrossing and effective. |
