Movie Reviews

Film Journal International - 8/10 by David NohA modest, grittily surfaced film that, while nothing earth-shaking, manages to hold your interest, despite its basic been-there/done-that premise.
Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by Paul Brennercaptures the scant, fetid tone of broken down pool halls and cracked glass bars infested with third-rate hustlers and frat boys slumming for a hustle
Nick's Flick Picks - 8/10 by Nick DavisTurn the River, sometimes like Kailey herself and sometimes not, has a laudable habit of pulling back at the right moments and proving its mettle in unexpected ways.
New York Magazine (Vulture) - 7/10 by David EdelsteinHas a mixture of edginess and melancholy that's beautifully sustained until the climax, when the tang of realism becomes the cudgel of melodrama.
The New Yorker - 6/10 by Anthony LaneSkip the coda to this movie, with its tiny upswing of hope, and remember the days at the tables, as dim and endless as nights, and the click of the dialogue.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Nick PinkertonTurn the River can't weather the ante-upping into pathos when Kailey desperately reasserts her privilege of motherhood--but the sense of storytelling intelligence is undeniable.
Metromix.com - 6/10 by Matt PaisNo glamorized games here, just a bleak look at a bleak story of a woman trying to crawl her way up from a life of limited options.
I.E. Weekly - 6/10 by Amy NicholsonWe're left after this terse and anxious film knowing nothing more about the world than that Janssen looks cool bending over and glaring at the eight-ball
Christian Science Monitor - 6/10 by Peter RainerTurn the River becomes a standard fatalistic misfits-on-the-run movie with more than its share of improbabilities. It's as if Eigeman didn't realize how good the best parts of his film were, and so went ahead and trashed them.
New York Post - 4/10 by Kyle SmithTurn the River lacks almost everything Eigeman has as a performer: charisma, wit and snappy delivery.
