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

Rated: A

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.

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.

Rated: 3/5

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.
