With its lyrical approach to a deliberate pace, the movie develops a hypnotic effect even when deceptively little happens. Go to Full Review Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader 05/26/2016

Take Me to the River doesn't quite hold water but I eagerly await seeing what Sobel does next. Go to Full Review Nick Evan-Cook One Room With A View 04/19/2019
3/5
The dark and twisted Take Me To The River is an intriguing and enjoyable little drama - though very slight, and never entirely convincing in terms of its characters' motivations, behaviours or actions. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

SILENT D @RT49335286 23h Do not waste your time with this movie. Movie made me kinda mad. If I could rate this movie lower I would. The movie is overall cheeks straight cheeks. It's also pretty weird imagine having a minor grinding on a what 23 year old not to mention a very mid ending. I did like the idea of the story a little the I can't come out cause family is homophobic part but the rest as I said straight booty cheeks. See more Kathern S @katiemay51 Feb 7 The movie was very secretive, so secretive that I never caught what the secret was. I was guessing throughout the entire movie See more Andreea T @VacaCuTotosi Dec 4 for me personally this movie felt like a fever dream, I didn’t really understood it, I felt like this movie was uploaded just to be there..and the fact that really good actors played in it, like Richard Schiff, it really pisses me off ngl..idk I didn’t like it, it was kind of boring I waisted 90 mins of my life when I could’ve just went to sleep.. See more Carissa F @RT93648201 Mar 21 I lost brain cells watching this movie. So dumb. Don’t waste your time watching this. See more Kristian S @RT61567800 03/07/2025 I really don't get the point of this movie it's strange...... See more Madam D @Madam1948 02/27/2025 Too vague to make a point, other than how family secrets can screw you up. See more Read all reviews
