    The Girl in the River Even with the performances of Maggie Grace, Tiffany Haddish and Ralph Macchio, they aren't enough to save a film that's basically the equivalent of a Hallmark TV pilot with it's writing, direction and characters that wouldn't be picked up anywhere

    This film is middling at best, like a bowl of plain, unseasoned spaghetti. My review of The Girl in the River for @spectrumculture.bsky.social.

    Watching The Girl In The River Shockingly poor procedural where a FBI graduate breaks the law and causes at least five deaths chasing the wrong subject AND THEN it fakes out a true story epilogue despite if the actions of the film were true the lead would have been fired

    Speaking with the legendary Devon Sawa was such a privilege. He’s on the Hot Seat this week, where we talk about working with Christina Ricci, the movie that changed how he saw acting and his new film The Girl in the River. Watch it now: amovieguy.com/2026/09/devo... @devonsawa.bsky.social
