A fish tale worth telling and worth hearing.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
The frustration here is that none of this leads anywhere. Perhaps that is the point, that some mysteries are never solved, but Jindabyne could give us a little more to work with.
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic
Rotten
Clearly, in his bid to repurpose Carver's story, Lawrence misses the writer's prevailing ethos: the sense of self-contained internal misery and that haunting quality of being hopelessly human.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Fresh
The seamless overall blend of involving domestic turmoil and haunted national self-questioning is quite some achievement.
Trevor Johnston, Time Out
