Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The River is difficult and unpleasant at times, but as a somber metaphor for contaminated lives, it's masterful.

fresh:
Tsai is so adept at pacing and mood, and so good at capturing a sense of yearning, that his film draws us in despite its unusually long takes and sparse cutting.
