Review of River's Edge (1986) by Hal Hinson for Washington Post — 01 Jan 2000
At its worst, River's Edge is crackpot sociology. Jimenez and Hunter use the characters' lack of affect as an indictment. The film has a hectoring, hysterical tone. It wants to find out why these kids, who have grown up in splintered, lower-middle-class homes, are like they are.
They want to blame somebody.
