Review of Blue River (1995) by Don S — 08 Mar 2010
Blue River (1995) -- [6.0] -- This ambitious coming-of-age drama stuffs its short running time with a nearly incongruous overview of Ethan Canin's novel, but at least it skims a provocative surface.
The story about love and conflict between two brothers is serviced remarkably well by Nick Stahl and Jerry O'Connell (all buff and sexy after dropping his "Stand by Me" pounds). Sam Elliott also brings color as a self-righteous preacher whose meddling threatens to tear the family apart.
