River

Young filmmakers need to know the difference between story and plot. Some nice shots here and there, but nothing special. The film suffers from bad writing. Poor dialogues. Empty faces of all characters. It looks like even they felt uncomfortable. I don't get the voice overs at all. All in all a miss. Won't watch ever again.

The most stupid film I have ever seen. I'm no pro, but if I were a teacher at film school I'd use this one to show how it's NOT working. Falls flat and boring. Don't waste your time or money on that.

Where do I start? I first watched the film and was really disappointed. Weird acting. Horrible dialogues and almost no plot. It was really hard to stick to it, because it was just super boring. Then I did some research and found interviews and even a making of. They all seem nice somehow and maybe even tried to make something here. But it lacks on all ends. I mean honestly. I had a little sympathy, but it is also really pathetic to make a making of about yourself and a film, that nobody cares about and nobody heard anything about anyone in the film yet. You can make that maybe if the film itself is a success. Then I also realized that the writer, director, producer and camera person is one person. And it seems to be somehow a personal project. Emily Skye had a troubled relationship and so on. And River in the film is, quote : something special. WTF.. sounds like major ego issues. What even happened to her? I hated the music. I don't mean the sound, but the cringy spring break music. While watching I was also asking myself why the mother of river acts so super weird. Who cuts a cucumber like that and looks like a lunatic. And why is she talking so weird. Then I read she is deaf for many years already. Respect for that, but why would I choose someone like that, when she just sounds so weird and is has nothing to do with the story? It is just irritating. I give 2 out of 10 for the effort though. But it's definitely a film to skip. You could literally make a better film with an iphone.

This film was just trash. Absolutely brain dead. 1 star for the music. Even though it was a little too present, but some nice sounds. I regret having spent money in this. I didn't want to watch any more of it after 10 minutes but went until the end and it just didn't get any better. It is not that everything has to be explained, but at least something. You can't just demand the audience to accept everything without any justification. There is no story.. Someone being sad and grieving is not a story. As much as I'd like to support other women... Worst film in a long time.

Terrible film there is absolutely nothing in it i fell sorry for the people involved horrible writing no plot structure also fun to see the fake ratings 10 our of 10 lol go back to 101 screenwriting annoying characters cheap music huge cringe factor.
