Causeway

"A soldier with a serious brain injury takes a jarringly smooth and photogenic road back to health in this glib tale."

"Causeway ultimately may be a little too languid, too restrained, but there’s catharsis to be found in its quiet moments and fine-tuned performances."

"Superb acting from Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry brings credibility to an underdeveloped story of trauma and friendship."

"(Causeway) is just as spare and uncompromising as Winter’s Bone."

"If Boredom itself bought a ticket and went to Causeway, it would fall asleep."

"A thoughtful and realistic slice of life that... has the distinct vibe of indie films from a generation or two ago."

"Henry is such an earthy, captivating presence that he holds the centre of gravity in Causeway — when he’s not on screen, the film drifts, rudderless..."

"This ultra-modest character study — sheared down to the point that you can almost see it shivering — works in spite of its small ambitions."

"Causeway’s biggest appeal is seeing Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry act up a quiet, powerful storm."

"I was left feeling both refreshed at how relaxed the whole affair was while also feeling like I wanted something more. "
