VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Alberto Herrera The actors were good, especially their facial nuances.The landscape cinematography captured a vista that leaves me wanting to experience the view in person. It is the one where a long stretch of the river can be seen from a bird's eye point-of-view.Friendships work sometimes when, each sees something in another that they need, and thus obtain it by giving something of equal value. So there is an exchange. And thus, a friendship evolves. Titus was an erudite man, but lacked the worldly experience of fly-fishing. He saw in Gus, the absence of enlightment. After a game of billiards, Gus accepts something he in the past could not understand by an analogy presented by Titus, and Titus is tutored in fly-fishing by Gus later in the film.The relationship with Gus and Eddy is refreshing and somewhat similar, yet well-acted. Again, their facial features add to the quality of their performances. Overall, this an excellent film and I enjoyed it very much. I am not a film critic or movie buff, but I give it an EXCELLENT rating. Don't take my word for it. See it for yourself.

dancinhomer2 The only redeeming quality to be found in this film is the beautiful Oregon scenery. However, that means that this *highlight* of the movie- watching experience is the equivalent of watching someone's vacation videos. When this is the best thing you can say about a movie, you are in for a painful time.It's a movie about fishing. Granted, you can only expect so much regarding a movie about something like fly fishing, but it *can* be made entertaining (remember "A River Runs Through It"?). This film has the requisite father-son issues, the "surprisingly thoughtful and well-read" protagonist, the spunky love interest, the "I've been searching for fish, and yet I now know I've only been searching for myself" hackneyed conclusion. The only thing that's missing is a group of people slow-clapping at the end. These are 101 minutes of your life you'll never get back. You have been warned.

John The majority of this movie was filmed on our family homestead in Western Oregon. The location is not mentioned, nor is the family, by request. However, this gives the story special meaning to the descendants or my Great Great Grandparents who homesteaded the valley.It is interesting to see how people find meaning in life, events, and what is important in life. While this is not a story about our family, there are traits that replay in all people, and families.If it does not help you understand yourself, it may help give you insight into those around you.Obviously today the particular cabin in the movie is know to us as the River Why Cabin.

Tony Heck "For me happiness would never be found anywhere but on the banks of a river." After a fight with his father pushes him to far, Gus (Gilford) decides to leave everything and just fish. While living in a cabin and fishing 16 hours a day he runs into Eddy (Heard) on the river and begins to rethink his life choices. I'll start by saying that this is a very good movie, but very girly. Think "River Runs Through It" but much more of a love story. The scenery is great, but unless you are a hardcore fisherman it will be tough to get through the long sequences of fishing and fly tying that are scattered throughout. The acting is great, and William Hurt does a great job even though he is only in it for a little while. This is a movie worth watching, but don't expect anything too exciting. Overall, a good movie with great acting that is much more of a love story then "River Runs Through It". I give it a B.*Also try - River Runs Through It
