5.0 out of 5 stars Rich and Insightful..., October 27, 2004
This review is from: The River (DVD)
that's the quote from Variety that's on the DVD box, and I couldn't agree more. The acting in this film is top notch. The film follows a range of characters over the course of one autumn day in Finland. Included among them are a gay couple trying to keep their affair secret, an adulterous wife, and a young mother contemplating suicide. The film manages to portray all of its characters in a very real and believable way. Unlike some "day in the life" films, this one manages to be an ordinary day with some very extraordinary events. Two thumbs up!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating..., October 19, 2004
By 
This review is from: The River (DVD)
...in a bad way. "The River" (or "Joki") takes a painfully familiar formula (ex. Robert Altman's "Short Cuts," as if we needed another), sets it in Finland, and leaves its viewer stranded. The film is structured around a woman who appears to be attempting suicide by drowning her and her baby in a river; the side-stories follow from there. Unfortunately, the "we're-all-connected" theme of the film feels less genuine than even the the most uninspired of the subgenre. The film feels more like a bunch of half-assembled ideas patched together solely because the director didn't know how to conclude (or leave interestingly inconclusive) each story. The sad part is that the film is far from dull; yet your endurance through the entirity may seem futile by the end-credits.
