Critics Consensus

Causeway takes a powerfully subdued look at the lingering effects of trauma, led by gripping performances from Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry.

Rex Reed

Observer

Year-end releases reveal a plethora of fine actors vainly trying to apply their extraordinary skills to raise the quality level of mediocre films. Jennifer Lawrence in Causeway is a perfect example.

Rated: 2/4

Austin Chronicle

Director Lila Neugebauer manages to keep the tone understated, focusing on the nuances of Lawrence and Henry’s performances that carry the weight of the heavy script.

Rated: 3.5/5

John Wilmes

Chicago Reader

A dour, paint-by-numbers contemplation on trauma and dislocation unfolds, and we see two actors capable of tremendous expression stuck in a place that won’t allow it.

Excelente atuações dos protagonistas, Brian e Jennifer (que também produziu, falar de seu indescritível talento é chover no molhado, melhores atrizes dramáticas de sua geração) um filme sobre traumas, culpas, abandono parental e suas consequências. Um filme lento e reflexivo, para os apaixonados pela introspecção, ausência de atos e excesso de prólogos, mas exatamente na medida, que nos faz sentir privilegiado por novas vidas sem traumas… "Trauma esta para depressão + que cigarro para câncer".

the depiction of trauma and healing is amazing. once again jennifer does a wonderful job at portraying a difficult character. the storyline of the movie, the depth of each character that you see and feel by only knowing so much of them, the different disabilities you see definitely makes the real world feel seen in that way too. a very creative story and it was not only wonderfully told, but wonderfully played by each character.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Mainly morose with most scenes of dead pan faces. The ending solidified my opinion of this long, drawn out boring movie.
