Neugebauer, Lawrence and Henry deliver an unhurried gem that might feel slight but always feels right. Read full review

Lawrence is phenomenal, giving the kind of wary, reined-in performance that made such a compelling impression in her breakthrough film, Winter’s Bone. And the always excellent Henry gradually strips back a character who at first seems wholly at ease with life to reveal layers of suppressed guilt and pain. Read full review

Causeway is at its most successful when the film is patient, giving the space to have its characters ruminate over how their past experiences don’t have to define their futures. It’s the kind of film that only succeeds with incredible performances to back it up, and Neugebauer achieves that with Lawrence and Henry guiding her film in such a touching, beautiful way.

Lawrence and Henry have a warm, natural chemistry, and that rapport really seems to guide where the movie ends up, instead of the other way around. Read full review

The unfolding of this unusual friendship, however, and Henry’s lively performance against Lawrence and their resulting rapport, make it a sound prospect to spend some quiet time with. Read full review

Causeway is slight but immersive, warm with the occasional chill and engaging in ways two very good actors can manage with just the barest bones of a story and a scattering of secrets to give away, one pained revelation at a time. Read full review

The experience of seeing Causeway isn’t what you’d imagine while trying to decide whether to watch a 92-minute movie about a veteran’s slow recovery. It feels more like moving in with her — invisible — for weeks, and watching as she makes a sandwich or stares into space. That isn’t drama. That’s practically audience abuse. Read full review

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.

The PTSD'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

Causeway is not solely a showcase for Jennifer Lawrence’s talent. It is also an interesting study of two people with different pasts and experiences, and how their interactions might be.

How credible is Jennifer Lawrence, now a 32-year-old world star, when in 2019 she felt the need to self-produce in this movie that sends her back to a character and a cinema similar to those of her indie debuts, "Winter's Bone" above all? Lila Neugebauer in her first feature film tries to manage JLaw as she can, in a path of survival from traumas suffered and responsibilities denied in war as in the family. Normally the psychophysical rehabilitation strategy is mutual support and in fact here we end up with the meeting of two peripheral and marginal solitudes. A few less clichés would have helped, for example her gender fluidity.… Expand
