Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 1d
The Girl in the River plays entirely by the book, by which I mean that there’s not a plot development you don’t expect. Go to Full Review Andrew Auger Pop Culture Leftovers 15h
There really isn’t much interest in doing anything different from the formula, which means that The Girl in the River works as a background watch but little more than that. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 23h

Doesn’t have surprises and is oddly restrained when it comes to physical encounters, but for those who love TV procedurals, there’s probably something here to embrace as Benetton goes slow and subdued with the film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
