Leave your thoughts about The Same River Twice.
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittAny promise that Same River will make a grand statement about vanished ideals or changes in the culture are dashed quickly ... but it remains a likable portrait of how youth looks from the perspective of middle age. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawAn elegy, an allegory, and one hell of a beautiful film. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottIt is poignant to see the young bodies aged. |
| San Francisco ChronicleCarla MeyerIntimate, quietly illuminating documentary. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertMost of the river rats have achieved lives that they would call happy, but watching their reactions while they view footage of their carefree younger selves will put a lump in many throats. |
| Film ThreatEric CamposCongratulations to Robb Moss for making such a crowd-pleaser. But more importantly, congratulations to Moss for having such interesting friends. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasOther documentaries have crisscrossed between time frames, but Moss' beguiling The Same River Twice represents one of the most effective uses of the device. |
| Chicago TribuneRobert K. ElderThe title of Robb Moss' documentary, The Same River Twice, draws directly from Greek philosopher Heraclitus' claim that "It is impossible to step in the same river twice." |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumMoss has an acute feeling for structure and juxtaposition and for the quality and sensibility of his friends. |
| Washington PostPhilip KennicottIf you can get past the "Big Chill" setup, there is a fine piece of moviemaking here. |
