The River is nothing more than a conventional, albeit pretty, melodrama. [11 Jan 1985, p.4N]
The River doesn't live up to its ambitions. [03 Jan 1985, p.27]
Rydell shoots the movie as if it had been commissioned by the Department of Agriculture. His scenes have such brute intentionality, they never come to life -- they're instant, airless cliche's. And who can believe that Mel Gibson is a down-and-out farmer? [11 Jan 1985, p.B1]
