This unassumingly brilliant filmmaker illuminates the sense and flavor of this disconsolate epoch in all its unheroic vexation.March 10, 2016
River of Grass is very funny, but in a more somber key it also test-drives what will become Reichardt's specialty: the transformation of cheerless wastelands into backdrops for journeys of the parched soul.March 10, 2016

This minimalist yet revisionist indie feature (Reichardt's debut) is a highlight of the 1994 Sundance Film Fest.March 11, 2016
It's almost too ethereal, it slips through your fingers when you try to grab it. Although that could be the point.December 31, 2016
The downbeat noir story is filled with deadpan humor, a type of humor that Bowman and Fessender excel in.
