"A stunningly lyrical visual journey."

—

FilmInk

"Visually rich (but) the droning observations can be platitudinous and verging on insufferable."

—

The Guardian

"Be awed or beat it; the film demands your reverence."

—

Financial Times

"Not even Willem Dafoe’s narration can save this meandering documentary with tired colonial overtones."

—

Little White Lies

"River is a poetic argument made potent."

—

Collider

"This sparklingly visual, Nat Geo-like tour of the worlds great waterways wants to dazzle us and shake us from our complacency and it manages both in style."
