	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"A lost treasure of independent cinema (...) 'Cane River' invites a rethinking of American film history, and also, in its disarmingly offhand, uniquely charming manner — of other aspects of American history as well"	POS
United States	Richard Brody The New Yorker	"An outdoors movie that deeply inhabits its landscapes (...) In its modest, forthright warmth, 'Cane River' is a work of visionary artistry and progressive imagination."	POS
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"[It] offers American indie cinema a hero worth remembering (...) There's a special beauty within 'Cane River' (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"It has a beauty and ambition that marked Jenkins as a promising talent (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Jenkins has suffused this love story with deep affection for his characters and the rural landscape (...) The documentary aspect of 'Cane River' is powerful"	POS
