Turn the River, sometimes like Kailey herself and sometimes not, has a laudable habit of pulling back at the right moments and proving its mettle in unexpected ways.

It's not sharp or ironic, but drab and downbeat. Unfortunately, it's also going to feel utterly familiar to those who've seen their share of independent dramas in the last 15 years.

Turn the River is a finely observed portrait of a desperate working-class woman who refuses to play by ordinary rules.

It's a bumpy film, and though no one may see it, it's impossible to imagine it playing as gracefully, like its effectively open-ended finale, without Janssen's conviction to her role.

captures the scant, fetid tone of broken down pool halls and cracked glass bars infested with third-rate hustlers and frat boys slumming for a hustle
May 09, 2008
A modest, grittily surfaced film that, while nothing earth-shaking, manages to hold your interest, despite its basic been-there/done-that premise.
May 16, 2008
A well-acted, if not terribly well-crafted, character-driven drama without much in the way of a purpose.
May 08, 2008
No glamorized games here, just a bleak look at a bleak story of a woman trying to crawl her way up from a life of limited options.

We're left after this terse and anxious film knowing nothing more about the world than that Janssen looks cool bending over and glaring at the eight-ball

Turn the River lacks almost everything Eigeman has as a performer: charisma, wit and snappy delivery.

Janssen, who reportedly did her own pool shooting, is [best] served in the scenes with Gulley, which are wrenching in a coolly understated way.

Hopefully, more moviegoers will catch a performance as promising as this Turn in another rack.
