Critic Reviews

Eric Campos

Congratulations to Robb Moss for making such a crowd-pleaser. But more importantly, congratulations to Moss for having such interesting friends. Read full review

Robert K. Elder

The title of Robb Moss' documentary, The Same River Twice, draws directly from Greek philosopher Heraclitus' claim that "It is impossible to step in the same river twice." Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Moss has an acute feeling for structure and juxtaposition and for the quality and sensibility of his friends. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

Has the built-in curiosity value of watching real people evolve on camera -- a fascination increased by subjects' original, variably sustained commitment to countercultural ideals. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

The old footage is definitely compelling, but once Moss trains his focus on the quotidian present, the movie takes on too much water to stay afloat. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Poignant documentary. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

The movie offers glimmers of truth about the aging process, but there is always the sense that Moss only wades knee-high into this river. Read full review
