...A piercingly poignant then-and-now portrait of five friends...

Rating: 4/5 -- Other documentaries have crisscrossed between time frames, but Moss' beguiling The Same River Twice represents one of the most effective uses of the device.

Rating: 2.5/5 -- Offers glimmers of truth about the aging process, but there is always the sense that Moss only wades knee-high into this river. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- The documentary The Same River Twice will ring startlingly true to any ski bum who ever went legit. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- On the expected side: Those were good times. Get it will you can. I really wouldn't encourage my kids to do the same thing. And so on.

Product Description:

In THE SAME RIVER TWICE, director/writer/producer Robb Moss tells a true story that takes place across two separate decades: the 1970s, when Moss and a group of long-haired, free-spirited friends spent a summer rafting and camping along the Colorado River; and the 2000s, when he revisits the friends who have come through the other side of their counterculture youths and into adulthood.

By interspersing reels from the original '70s river trip and documentary footage taken 30-some years later, river guide Jim and fellow travelers Barry, Jeff, Cathy, and Danny are seen both as young, idealistic (and often naked) travelers and older (fully clothed) men and women, some of whom have held onto the counterculture's ideals more than others. Moss often films his grown-up subjects as they watch their younger selves on the screen, capturing genuine moments of memory and reflection.
