With its lyrical approach to a deliberate pace, the movie develops a hypnotic effect even when deceptively little happens.

Is it me, or is the big climactic reveal not really worth all the hubbub?

Take Me to the River doesn't quite hold water but I eagerly await seeing what Sobel does next.

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.

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..

Too vague to make a point, other than how family secrets can screw you up.

Many folks are giving this movie a bad review because of the uncomfortable content. I have news for you folks – this is a very realistic depiction of what goes on out there. Well written, well acted, well delivered.
