TOMATOMETER
5 stars out of 5 -- [D]eep, powerful currents stir beneath its steady rhythms. A film of magisterial beauty.
Uncut
THE RIVER relies almost entirely on Renoir’s mastery of filmmaking basics. Yet it’s also a complex and mysterious work.
A.V. Club
...A masterpiece....[With] some of the most exquisite color photography ever....Cinematic, emotional, you name it -- here's a great one...
USA Today
[A] study of sorrow that's all the more pungent for being exquisitely pretty.

Product Description:
The gentle rhythms of the Ganges provide background noise in Renoir's low-key film about three girls suffering the pangs of adolescence in post-WWII India. Harriet (Patricia Walters), a shy, poetic girl, Valerie (Adrienne Corri), a proud beauty, and Melanie (Radha), a reserved Anglo-Indian, display a powerful interest in Captain John (Thomas E. Breen), a WWII veteran staying with a neigboring relative. But when he loses his leg in the war, he plunges into a melancholy that makes him oblivious to their attention.
