River Runs Red is neither substantive nor thrilling enough to prove satisfying.

By Frank Scheck FULL REVIEW

Film Journal International

Nov 8, 2018

It’s only when River Runs Red gets to about the hour mark that a story begins to cohere. Up until that point, it had taken the most perfunctory of stabs at being a ripped-from-the-headlines drama about police shootings.

By Chris Barsanti FULL REVIEW

L.A. Weekly

Nov 8, 2018

The acting is stiff, the pacing sluggish, the framing uncertain, the music an intrusive mush and the scenario schematic. But it’s an interesting schematic, at least, complete with thoughtful/exhaustive discussion of the difference between justice, revenge and forgiveness.

Raising awareness of social injustice is a good goal, but not enough to hold an audience’s attention.

One of several reasons River Runs Red is such a resentment-generating movie is that it takes a vitally serious subject and makes such a relentlessly dumb hash of it.
