Decider

Jesse Hassenger

Over and over, the decision to repeatedly linger in the moment feels like it’s being made out of caution rather than actual effectiveness.

These two men [Brian Cox & Sinqua Walls] from different generations and different backgrounds still develop a warm friendship that really centers the film. The story of fly-fishing and trout-fishing plays as beautiful metaphor for life.

It may be formulaic and slow, but this mentor-student drama is rarely dull thanks to fine performances and languid pacing that lets us find the meditative rhythms of fly fishing itself.

AARP Movies for Grownups

Thelma Adams

The drama captures the way two wounded warriors from opposite worlds can overcome trauma, find comfort in nature and, potentially, mend themselves.

The whole point of finding tranquility on a fly-fishing river is that one should learn to take that meditation into daily life. This is among the most important concepts that exist for humans. Which makes the movie worthwhile despite a saccharine score.
