The Same River Twice Reviews
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
The movie's then-and-now approach proves reasonably interesting, but Same River doesn't dig deeply enough to provide us with more than a series of passing views.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Other documentaries have crisscrossed between time frames, but Moss' beguiling The Same River Twice represents one of the most effective uses of the device.
Chicago Tribune
Robert K. Elder
Succeeds through articulate, nostalgic sequences of introspection linked by poetic camerawork.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A river does indeed run through The Same River Twice, and it's rather shallower than director Robb Moss seems to think.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A poignant meditation on life as a work-in-progress.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
The documentary The Same River Twice will ring startlingly true to any ski bum who ever went legit.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
Intimate, quietly illuminating documentary.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
At its core, The Same River Twice is about a process everyone goes through, and the recognition that change is inevitable and we can't be young forever.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
It's a rather listless and self-involved documentary.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Offers glimmers of truth about the aging process, but there is always the sense that Moss only wades knee-high into this river.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A piercingly poignant then-and-now portrait of five friends who worked as summer guides on the Colorado River in the 1970's.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
The copious nudity of the '78 sequences is striking, but the body part gazed upon most by these people is the navel.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
It would make a worthy entry on public TV, but just doesn't have the heft for a theatrical release.
Washington Post
Steve Hendrix
Ultimately unsatisfying then-and-now look at some late-'70s free spirits.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
The Same River Twice is far from an arthritic exercise in hippie nostalgia. There is a seasoned richness and vivid specificity to these lives, for all their hurts and losses.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Poignant but not particularly deep.
Washington Post
Philip Kennicott
If you can get past the Big Chill setup, there is a fine piece of moviemaking here.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
It's a generous document of cultural passage, and not incidentally, the sexiest naturally nudist American movie since Murnau's Tabu.
Oregonian
Karen Karbo
It's Moss' disinclination to judge that gives what might otherwise be a slight film its genuine poignancy.
San Diego Metropolitan
Jean Lowerison
A duller film than its predecessor [Riverdogs].
