Causeway - Anmeldelser

The emotional resonance of Causeway, the film debut from theater director Lila Neugebauer, is entirely indebted to the staggering performances of its lead actors.

Causeway’s biggest appeal is seeing Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry act up a quiet, powerful storm.

This deliberately slow, talky film about two broken people trying to put their lives back together features great performances from Lawrence and Henry.

...offers a strong reminder of what Lawrence can bring to the screen...

Jennifer Lawrence is shatteringly good as a psychologically scarred veteran.

Lawrence is phenomenal, giving the kind of wary, reined-in performance that made such a compelling impression in her breakthrough film, Winter’s Bone.

With “Causeway,” Jennifer Lawrence returns to the kind of raw, understated performance that put her on the map and earned her the first of her many Academy Award nominations when she was only 20 years old.

Watching Jennifer Lawrence in a film that allows her to showcase her skills at full force after so many years without her is a welcome reminder that she’s one of our greatest living actresses.

...an observational character study that feels extraordinarily human.

...a deep cinematic experience and is a must-watch for any cinema enthusiast.

...it's nice to see actors like these do such subtle, sympathetic work for a gifted young director — and to find an outlet for storytelling that doesn't demand neat redemption, but still allows for grace.

...riktigt starkt skådespel...

Det finstämda dramat “Causeway”, med en lysande Jennifer Lawrence i centrum, är en intim, hoppingivande skildring av hur man kan lära sig att leva vidare.
