  1. Has a mixture of edginess and melancholy that's beautifully sustained until the climax, when the tang of realism becomes the cudgel of melodrama.
  2. The main problem with Turn the River is that it's a well-acted, if not terribly well-crafted, character-driven drama without much in the way of a purpose.
  3. 38
    Turn the River lacks almost everything Eigeman has as a performer: charisma, wit and snappy delivery.

    Slowly paced but it works for most of this movie. Very well acted by the entire cast, the story is well written and the direction by Chris Eigeman is very careful and thoughtful. Expand
