The triumph of this bleak, unsettling picture is that, no matter how grim it gets, it's far too involving for you to turn away.

River's Edge is a contemporary horror story about teen-agers, but it contains no slasher scenes or serial homicides. Its monsters are all too real.
Michael Wilmington, Los Angeles Times

An unusually downbeat and depressing youth pic.

It's more a success than a failure, if only because the confusions are so protean.
Pat Graham, Chicago Reader
Rotten
There are some good, frightening scenes of volatile lunacy, but the whole thing badly lacks a controlling distance and perspective.
