Variety movie critic Dennis Harvey says nothing feels organic about “The River Why.”
“If it’s something of a botch as an adaptation, pic nonetheless could score with undiscriminating audiences looking for outdoorsy, formulaic family fare (one late, nonexplicit lovemaking scene aside). Even if the lyricism is sometimes forced, there’s gorgeous widescreen location lensing and solid additional design contributions down the line.”
