Review of Causeway (2022)

Review of Causeway (2022)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 09 Nov 2022

There is a fine line between creating a laconic, closed-off character and simply not creating a character at all—a line that Causeway transgresses…

Review of Causeway (2022)

Review of Causeway (2022)

By Natalia Keogan (119) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 07 Nov 2022

Review of Causeway (2022)

By Siddhant Adlakha (174) for IGN (1,013) on 04 Nov 2022

Review of Causeway (2022)

By Christy Lemire (1,262) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 04 Nov 2022

Causeway ultimately may be a little too languid, too restrained, but there’s catharsis to be found in its quiet moments and fine-tuned performances…

Review of Causeway (2022)

By Mary Siroky (10) for Consequence (296) on 03 Nov 2022

Review of Causeway (2022)

By Jim Slotek (879) for Original-Cin (1,156) on 03 Nov 2022
