Alec B

Overall it's your fairly typical low key indie drama about starting over. However it's aided by solid performances, especially by Lawrence. It's good to see her going back to the kind of blue collar drama that put her on the map.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Understated but thoughtful perspective on trauma and friendship. Well worth your time.

A little slow but a poignant story of two people in pain and recovery, finding friendship. A little bit disappointed with the vague ending.

It's a mediocre movie, there is no new invention, the movie ends with a banal conversation.

I only gave it 3 stars because I'm a big Jennifer Lawrence fan. I guess if you like very, very very slow movies you may like it. I kept waiting for something to happen and surprised when the ending came to be honest without anything happening. It had to be a very low budget film and prolly the main cost of the movie was the actors. Very, very, very very low key. It was nominated for some awards I've heard. At least it didn't have a tragic ending like I was expecting and thankful for that. I had thought that the name Causeway was because she would commit suicide there and pleased it didn't turn out that way.

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.

The Hindu

Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry are at their restrained best in an emotional drama about a soldier healing from trauma, chasing belongingness and figuring out life in a world lonelier than a battlefield.

My attachment to this film was significant. Being forced to return to your hometown due to an unexpected incident is a difficult pill to take, especially after working so hard to leave in the first place.
