On the expected side: Those were good times. Get it will you can. I really wouldn't encourage my kids to do the same thing. And so on. Full Review |

At its core, The Same River Twice is about a process everyone goes through, and the recognition that change is inevitable and we can't be young forever. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
The copious nudity of the '78 sequences is striking, but the body part gazed upon most by these people is the navel. Full Review |

|
2/4 |
It's a rather listless and self-involved documentary. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/5 |
Offers glimmers of truth about the aging process, but there is always the sense that Moss only wades knee-high into this river. Full Review |

It's Moss' disinclination to judge that gives what might otherwise be a slight film its genuine poignancy. Full Review |

4/5 |
Other documentaries have crisscrossed between time frames, but Moss' beguiling The Same River Twice represents one of the most effective uses of the device. Full Review |

Sweet, sensitive and insightful. Full Review |

|
C+ |
The movie's then-and-now approach proves reasonably interesting, but Same River doesn't dig deeply enough to provide us with more than a series of passing views. Full Review |

The documentary The Same River Twice will ring startlingly true to any ski bum who ever went legit. Full Review |

The Same River Twice is far from an arthritic exercise in hippie nostalgia. There is a seasoned richness and vivid specificity to these lives, for all their hurts and losses. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
Succeeds through articulate, nostalgic sequences of introspection linked by poetic camerawork. Full Review |
