Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 11/08/2018
A sluggish film that incessantly tries but never quite hits its big-as-a-barn emotional targets. Go to Full Review Filipe Freitas Film Threat 11/12/2018
6/10
For a small independent film addressing guilt and trauma within a family, The Divide manages to stand on its feet. Despite the predictable ending and a bashful posture, emotions are running and the hope of a happy future ultimately makes us enjoy [it].

03/28/2020 Totally Awesome! Reminiscent of relationship B&W Western classics such as HUD, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and The Misfits. Highly recommended for those interested in films about mental illness, dementia, or Alzheimer's or who have been through a similar experience. Touching, deeply moving story that deals with many relationship issues within a family such as suicide, acceptance, redemption, love and loss. Ensemble delivers gripping performances. Beautifully poignant script for first-time writer, Jana Brown has a delightful blend of humor sadness, joy, and all human emotions combined. Brilliant cinematography highlights hues and textures of the expansive panoramas of the Georgetown California Divide. Magnificent job for first-time director Perry King for his vision in returning to truth and storytelling. All in all the movie succeeded in providing catharsis as well-rounded movie of the relationship drama genre should do. It gave the audience mini warm fuzzy moments filled with oohs and aahs. OH! YES! It was in black and white but color would have ruined the nature of the story. Great stories do not need color to tell them. Color will only distract, limiting the effect of the script, acting and cinematography. If you come with your emotions you will be mesmerised by the essence of the movie.

It introduces its characters in a way that makes one want to learn more about them. Amidst a harsh, drought ravaged landscape they each find something within themselves that gives them sustenance and offers redemption. The story is beautifully written and sensitively interpreted by the actors. The cinematography is exquisite. Perry King directed as well as acted in this film. In my opinion, he has succeeded admirably in both roles. The Divide is a movie worth seeing. See more Read all reviews
