Mending the Line Ratings & Reviews
OurQuadCities / WHBF-TV (Illinois)
Linda Cook
This is a heart-touching film about veterans helping veterans.
Decider
Jesse Hassenger
Over and over, the decision to repeatedly linger in the moment feels like it's being made out of caution rather than actual effectiveness.
KLRT-TV
Michael Cook
These two men [Brian Cox & Sinqua Walls] from different generations and different backgrounds still develop a warm friendship that really centers the film. The story of fly-fishing and trout-fishing plays as beautiful metaphor for life.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It may be formulaic and slow, but this mentor-student drama is rarely dull thanks to fine performances and languid pacing that lets us find the meditative rhythms of fly fishing itself.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
The drama captures the way two wounded warriors from opposite worlds can overcome trauma, find comfort in nature and, potentially, mend themselves.
Epoch Times
Mark Jackson
The whole point of finding tranquility on a fly-fishing river is that one should learn to take that meditation into daily life. This is among the most important concepts that exist for humans. Which makes the movie worthwhile despite a saccharine score.
Willamette Week
William Schwartz
Mending the Line brings us close to its broken-down veterans, delivering a sympathetic depiction that transcends politics.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
I couldn't have been more bored than if I were actually fishing.
Fort Worth Report
Joe Friar
Featuring strong performances and a solid cast that includes Sinqua Walls plus seasoned greats Brian Cox and Wes Studi, the heartwarming film examines the alienation and trauma many "wounded warriors" experience and their journey toward peace and purpose.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Blandly well-intentioned fare...elevated to some extent by strong lead performances from Sinqua Walls and Brian Cox...who makes the decidedly calculating and predictable movie as watchable as it is.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
[It] has a rote TV-movie look and a few bland and rambling passages. But it delivers a truth about those who have served, about the reality of the demons that can linger in them, that's tough and moving.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
Quiet and genuine, the film's prescription for what ails you is applicable to a great many ailments, making it a movie well worth seeking out.
Next Best Picture
Lauren LaMagna
Audiences will know precisely what they are getting with "Mending the Line," but it is still a delightful watch.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
There's a poignant message about the unspoken bond between veterans and finding healing in unexpected places. However, amid its picturesque rivers and streams, the film overflows with heavy-handed sentimentality.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
The movie is worth a look for its lovely and magical fly-fishing sequences and stirring Big Sky vistas (shout out to cinematographer Eve Cohen), as well as its strong cast...
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
The middling material is often elevated by the performances.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Through its setting and performances, "Mend the Line" has just enough going for it to recommend it.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Contrived, preachy and paint-by-numbers, but anchored by the always-reliable, warm and charismatic Brian Cox.
jackiekcooper.com
Jackie K. Cooper
The basic story is a Marine recovering from his mental and physical wounds caused by war, but it is the community of individuals who make the story soar. Acting, script, music, cinematography, direction - it all comes together.
