River of Grass Ratings & Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Evocatively directed in Florida locations by gifted newcomer Kelly Reichardt.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The downbeat noir story is filled with deadpan humor, a type of humor that Bowman and Fessender excel in.
Metro
Matt Prigge
Awash in almost-no-budget '90s indie smudge, it's a 'Bonnie and Clyde' about people who only wish they were Bonnie and Clyde.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It's almost too ethereal, it slips through your fingers when you try to grab it. Although that could be the point.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Reichardt subverts expectations at every turn, while simultaneously painting a vivid portrait of southern Florida (the title refers to the Everglades, and the film goes back and forth between Broward and Dade County) in all its sun-drenched seediness.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
This minimalist yet revisionist indie feature (Reichardt's debut) is a highlight of the 1994 Sundance Film Fest.
Paste Magazine
Kenji Fujishima
If Meek's Cutoff could be seen as an anti-Western, using the genre's tropes in defiantly subversive ways, River of Grass pulls similar tricks with crime drama and noir clichs.
The Film Stage
Michael Snydel
[It] isn't able to reach the peaks of Reichardt's later monumental work, but it's educational in mapping out her concerns as a filmmaker, and a stirring reminder of her abilities as a visual stylist.
Slant Magazine
James Lattimer
Kelly Reichardt's film is a wry, appealingly raggedy look at the impossibility of conjuring up excitement from boredom.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
There's an element of wit in Reichardt's minimalism here that isn't present in her later, more somber work.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
...a muted deconstruction of the Bonnie-and-Clyde narrative.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
While this seriously independent film features the blunt editing (by producer/star Fessenden) and unsophisticated sound of low budget filmmaking, Reichardt's amusing aspiring outlaw movie surprises at every turn...
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a decidedly erratic yet somewhat promising first effort by Reichardt.
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
Reichardt's continued interest in the leisurely paced rhythms of everyday life, in all its associated anxieties and disquietness, has been there from the start.
NPR
Ella Taylor
River of Grass is very funny, but in a more somber key it also test-drives what will become Reichardt's specialty: the transformation of cheerless wastelands into backdrops for journeys of the parched soul.
BuzzFeed News
Alison Willmore
It's not exactly action-filled, but its main character is explicit about what's on her mind and how deep-seated her desire to escape is.
Spin
Manohla Dargis
With an ear for dialogue that burns deep and bright, and an eye for mad detail, Reichardt here proves herself a formidable talent.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
A film of fizzy languor ... terrific ...
Brooklyn Magazine
Jonathan Stevenson
This unassumingly brilliant filmmaker illuminates the sense and flavor of this disconsolate epoch in all its unheroic vexation.

Christopher Null
Plenty of fun but not really that memorable
