Causeway is a small, intimate drama that ultimately adds up to nothing.

It's a story with a lot to explore but basically settles for leaving it all in small situations that make all the weight of the plot fall on Jennifer Lawrence's character and her sober and noticeable performance, to which is added the appearance of a solid Brian Tyree Henry.

While this is a plus for the film because Lawrence once again demonstrates the acting quality that put her on the map over a decade ago with Winter's Bone, in reality Causeway is a film that is unlikely to leave a lasting impression on the viewer, regardless of what it achieves during its running time.

Not that it's just another one of the bunch, but it doesn't stand out among them either.… Expand

Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry are both simply amazing in this first feature outing for Lila Neugebauer. The film is both understated yet brimming over with an intensity that captivates the viewer.

The promise the Lawrence showed in "Winter's Bone" is now in full blossom, and this film only points to even brighter and more poignant performances in her future.… Expand

JENNIFER LAWRENCE THE ACTRESS THAT YOU ARE Bryan Tyree Henry is also terrific in this film, I can't believe how good those two were.

The bulk of the film falls on their shoulders, which does admittedly make for a bit of a narrative drag, but the two of them and their combined talents are enough more often than not to hold things up for the film's small hour and a half runtime and narrative.… Expand

Eu sei. Confesso que entendo quem não gosta desse tipo de filme, por achar sem história, sem grandes reviravoltas, ou outro motivo. Mas enredos sobre um determinado assunto pouco abordado inserido no cotidiano me chamam bastante atenção.

E, que me desculpem os fãs da Emmanuelle Riva, mas a Jennifer Lawrence é uma atriz excepcional, e eu durmo toda noite mais feliz quando lembro que ela já tem um Oscar.

Por falar no careca dourado, não tem uma vaga em ator coadjuvante para o Brian Tyree Henry aí, não? Só alguém com vocação para a excelência na atuação consegue nos fazer rir com o olhar ou uma única palavra. Que dupla impecável.… Expand

'Causeway' takes Jennifer Lawrence to her 'Winter's Bone' days, although the experience doesn't prove as emotional as striking as that one.

Director Lila Neugebauer constructs an extremely low-key story that explores the harrowing thoughts and feelings of a woman burdened by pain. The PTSD theme is distressing at times; Lawrence does a fine job transmitting the exasperation of her character trying to live an everyday life again, but I think it doesn't go that deeper, especially with Brian Tyree Henry's James, who steals the film with minor but powerful interventions. Nevertheless, 'Causeway' minimalist approach suits Lawrence very well, proving that these roles are her thing.… Expand

I wish we had more movies like this one. So powerful in its understatement, and such deep characterization brought to life by two of our finest actors. I rarely give praise like this, where the word "exquisite" comes to mind, but it does: ForI wish we had more movies like this one. So powerful in its understatement, and such deep characterization brought to life by two of our finest actors. I rarely give praise like this, where the word "exquisite" comes to mind, but it does: For acting, writing and directing. The supporting cast too, was spot-on. (One scene late in the film just blew me away.) This one's pretty close to perfect. Thank you.… Expand
