Janssen, who reportedly did her own pool shooting, is [best] served in the scenes with Gulley, which are wrenching in a coolly understated way.

A well-acted, if not terribly well-crafted, character-driven drama without much in the way of a purpose.
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times

Turn the River is a finely observed portrait of a desperate working-class woman who refuses to play by ordinary rules.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
Turn the River lacks almost everything Eigeman has as a performer: charisma, wit and snappy delivery.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Rotten
It's not sharp or ironic, but drab and downbeat. Unfortunately, it's also going to feel utterly familiar to those who've seen their share of independent dramas in the last 15 years.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
