THE RIVER (1984) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Mark Rydell

Written by - Robert Dillon, Julian Barry

Starring - Sissy Spacek, Mel Gibson

"The tale of an American family in the mid-1980’s whose easy country life in a small town is constantly put under threat of destruction be real estate agents, money and even the force of nature. Performances are good and the tight photography captured the situation well; it is the screenplay that often falls for generic traps and restrict the potential of the film."
