The film's interest in contemporary performers doesn't rob it of a sense of history.

The Atlantic
Even if the filmmaking loses focus at times, the personalities on-screen are consistently engaging, and the experimental collaborations yield some toe-tapping tracks.

Rating: 2/5 --
There's some talk about the collaboration's significance, and there's some racially charged history to relate, but the real point is to hear these oldsters one last time, to remember and maybe even discover what they gave us.

While you may stick around for the stories, the film's true draw is the music.

The Film Stage
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Three of the guitar marvels shown here - Hubert Sumlin, Teenie Hodges and Skip Pitts - have died since filming. This is a marginal but worthwhile footnote to their legacy.

Flawed as it is, "River" reminds us where all the great music came from.

Boston Globe
The premise for this documentary couldn't be more stilted, and some of the matchups are enough to make you wince. But there are a few striking intergenerational moments.
