Review of The River

The River (1997)
4/10
I don't get it
19 November 2011
I saw the rating here, so I watched the movie. Well, I don't understand the rating. I read some reviews here, I still don't understand.

Of course, some scenes are very well shot, acting is good and so on. But a story with no development, (almost) no dialogues, no surprises just can't be a good story. And movie without a (good) story can't be a good movie.

To watch a boring life on screen is even more boring than living a boring life.

So it's just boring and weird... despite the interesting idea, good acting and directing. Which is sad, since the movie had huge potential!

But I can imagine there are quite some people out, who like this movie... But you need a really special taste.
