Reviews

Variety - Unnamed
A skilled, careful adaptation of a much-admired story, A River Runs Through It is a convincing trip back in time to a virtually vanished American West, as well as a nicely observed family study.
88
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Redford and his writer, Richard Friedenberg, understand that most of the events in any life are accidential or arbitrary, especially the crucial ones, and we can exercise little conscious control over our destinies.
88
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
This is a beautifully-shot film, and director Robert Redford (who also provides the voice-over narration) has paid painstaking attention to detail.
78
Austin Chronicle - Unnamed
A pure cinematic distillation of Maclean's words, it is by turns austere and vibrant, disconsolate and joyful.
70
Washington Post - Hal Hinson
It is a serious and, at times, moving film, and it deserves serious analysis.
