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.

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.

| Original Score: B | Dec 9, 2004

The copious nudity of the '78 sequences is striking, but the body part gazed upon most by these people is the navel.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 9, 2004

It's a rather listless and self-involved documentary.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 9, 2004

Offers glimmers of truth about the aging process, but there is always the sense that Moss only wades knee-high into this river.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 28, 2004

A duller film than its predecessor [Riverdogs].

| Mar 27, 2004

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

| Original Score: B | Mar 26, 2004

It is poignant to see the young bodies aged.

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

Sweet, sensitive and insightful.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 12, 2004

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 | Original Score: C+ | Mar 12, 2004

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

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 12, 2004

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.

| Mar 11, 2004

Succeeds through articulate, nostalgic sequences of introspection linked by poetic camerawork.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 4, 2004

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 14, 2004

A poignant meditation on life as a work-in-progress.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 6, 2004

Treats its audience with unusual intelligence and serves up meaty food for thought.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 2, 2004

Comes across as two sets of home movies spliced together; we watch politely but secretly can't wait to go home.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 2, 2004

Intimate, quietly illuminating documentary.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 23, 2004
