Thanks... ❤

[@Izzy-ub9sb]

I became a fan of Kari Matchett through her portrayals of so many different characters in the Nero Wolfe series. When I saw her name on this film, I had to see it. Wow, another completely different character. I really enjoyed her performance. She is such a talented actress. Good film.

[@tellitlikeitis1828]

I never heard of her. But then again, i haven’t watched TV in over 20 years. She did great. Good acting all around.

[@franceswomble8083]

It is strange how passing a street hearing a song talking to someone about the pass can bring back memories you didn't even know you had.

[@williebeamish5879]

Happens to me alot lately.

[@cryptoempowerment3572]

The heart remembers.

[@phillipramsey6926]

Your mind never forgets, it reacts to those you mentioned

[@SanJuanitaGomez-iw9wp]

Okay!watching the movie on a Sunday afternoon, hope it’s good like you all saying!😅

[@CS-uc2oh]

past not pass

[@laurencemckechnie3278]

Good movie. Worth a view. Strange how a lot of good movies can be made on a small budget. I have noticed that (historically) a lot of the movies where the Canadian movie industry is involved are well worth a watch.

[@aspenrebel]

I dunno about that. They had put out a number of good TV shows. Australia had made a lot of good movies, in the past. I dunno about recently.

[@calgal5752]

The Aussies, the Brits….just about anything but American.

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

Murdoch Mysteries are a much better choice.

[@yoelben-avraham2905]

Kari Matchett in a dramatic role that she carries off beautifully. Well worth watching. 👏👏

[@spartandodge6034]

I ask myself; how could I ever not love watching Kari Matchett act? Very enjoyable mystery. Thank You.

[@coolroy4300]

Yes ,she has a very kind, beautiful face and personality.

[@OmerTamer]

fantastic story acted by fantastic cast, which proves that a movie needs not necessarily be casted by celebrities to be enjoyed. a cast of no name actors can really create a terrific production such as this. kudos to all involved in the production.

[@jeanettenorman7052]

In fact it seems you are best off to not bother with the so called stars movies - go else where as the ego does not dominate.

[@trinade3732]

What do you mean no name actors? You obviously do not watch great movies. Kati Matchett is very well know Canadian actress who was nominated for seven Awards and won 2. You need to change your movie genre and stop watching superhero box office movie types. You will be glad you did.

[@aspenrebel]

well the guy who played the old Sheriff/father is hardly "no name", I've seen him many times in lots of things. Kenneth Welsh, Canadian, died May 5, 2022. Was in "Crocodile Dundee II"; "Death Wish V"; "Time Cop"; " Legends of the Fall"; "The Aviator"; "Twin Peaks" (TV); "Law and Order" (TV); and many, many, many more.

[@aspenrebel]

Hey!! He resembles that!!@@trinade3732

[@NoeletteMason-rn3wy]

​@@aspenrebelCan you please tell me who he played in Legends of the fall? It was a great film , I'm trying to place him.

[@quitepernicious6041]

Unlike most TV films, this one does not suck! I find the flow of the story laminar and natural.

[@lcam9241]

Well, I learned a new word today. 👍🏽

[@aspenrebel]

There are a lot of good TV movies.

[@AnnabelleJARankin]

@@lcam9241 Not a word used to describe stories though!

[@jyotismovieshelf]

A very sad, but interesting family "demons in the closet" story, and a murder mystery to solve! The narration is poetic and provocative. Lots of surprises, twists and turns! There's even an old romance that is revisited. Very well-acted and produced. Recommended!

[@narellechocholowski169]

This movie isn't just good, it is outstanding, five stars.

[@desireuys2794]

Thank you for your recommendation.

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

I wish the audio was louder. I can barely hear this one. This story hits home. My mother left my dad before I was born. Then came back and I was conceived. Then she left again when I was four.I know what it is like to be a motherless child.

[@firstbornjordan]

That would have been extremely hard. I hope by the grace of God, you came through strong, and are a source of strength to others.

[@user-sg2vt7kr3i]

So sorry to hear what you went thru w/parents. Maybe film is low due to your volume unable to push up loud enuf on device u are using? As when I put volume up some more I could hear ok. At least you stuck with the movie even though u had lower volume experience....as it was worth it...

[@ariziman]

This is an honest, real-life drama that's worth your time. We must earn to forgive, as we all make mistakes as we go through life. Good kovie.

[@susanm200]

I forget the former things & do not dwell on the past anymore bcz my God is doing a new thing & I do not want to miss it!

[@user-bx2oi7yk1v]

Well said ... in Him lies our future, hope and peace of mind ... blessings to you ... ❤

[@cheriamour2429]

Movie Central never disappoints!!!

[@danielhanawalt4998]

Very good movie. We never know the secrets people keep and the reasons they keep them. Those we meet along the path of our lives. Sometimes secrets need to be told to mend the wounds of the past. Sometimes secrets are best left untold. Well written and acted film.

[@aspenrebel]

Best not to know the "unknown" from your past, your families past. Forget about it, ignore it, move on, enjoy life. It all really doesn't matter. I have know 2 women in my life, who did not know who their father's were. Most probably they were scumbags. So they knowing who they were probably would not have done them any good. Things about your past, family, ancestry, etc. may not matter, may be all incorrect. As the old saying goes "what difference does it make if the milkman did it?".

[@rogerkenyon6209]

I have to disagree, though I understand your point of view. But you/we are the products of our past, of our forbears, and we really do need to know that past, whatever .....

[@lindas.martin2806]

Kari Matchett, what a find! I remember her in Nero Wolfe's Mystery series, what a great ensemble cast. Such a shame the producers did not appreciate that show as much as the audience and Kari was great!

[@BrookeAndSutton]

Thanks for the recommendation I liked her in Invasion

[@kokolanza7543]

That's where I first saw her. She and Timothy Hutton were great in that series. Maury Chakin too of course. She always does a good job, & I particularly enjoyed the quirky roles in Nero Wolfe.

[@flakes_snowe]

I honestly loved the ending and how sweet it was. This wasn't like the typical lifetime movie which I enjoy watching too. This movie ended on the sweetest note and yep I cried. Good movie. Thank you for sharing it with me.

[@treasurehunteruk9718]

I don't think it is Lifetime. I thought it was a long drawn out piece of tosh ..........

[@flakes_snowe]

@@treasurehunteruk9718 yeah I knew this but was comparing it to lifetime types of movies. It's a good movie. I enjoyed watching it. By the way hi to you and your beautiful family. Hope you're enjoying life.

[@carolannmiller7911]

A great movie w/a great cast... can never disappoint. Every family has buried secrets. Some never revealed, some are, some cause a lot of pain and some remain an unknown mystery without answers and closure.

[@richardwallace1405]

honestly. with all due respect to anybody in that situation, sometimes you are better off not knowing and sometimes, i don't think we'll ever get the answers we want.

[@gwendolynestrada3017]

I had recurring dreams for years. I told my mom she told me they were actual events that happened when I was a little girl

[@user-nc6kj1iv3m]

I had the same nightmare when I was a child. I was sitting in a wood canoe in an algae filled lake w a bunch of cabbages in it. I couldn't eat it for years.

[@ribqahparker6605]

O GOD!

[@TheWriterWalker]

Searching for something to watch, and all I needed to see was Kari Matchett's name. It is always a pleasure to watch a highly skilled actress at work. Looking forward to the film.

[@herbsHA]

One of the best acting, written and edited movies I have watched.

[@Lu-rb8mc]

seems you haven't seen many...

[@denisehall4818]

I love Kari Machett.She was in the "the Nero Wolfe" mysteries. I'd really like to see more of her work.

[@BeauGriego-ch1yg]

I believe that's why they call movies like this mystery thrillers, I thought the movie was very well done and coming from a guy's perspective ,trying to put my shoes into the way of Kate thinking, what she's endured over her years I feel she had all the right to be the kind of person she would be in this movie. Kate Mason play the great part... last thing I have to say young man or young woman that has had to endure something like this in their life can be very painful That's why sometimes the, truth in bringing up the past can either bring you Together.. or it can Haunt.. you!..

[@Sandra-ok3dh]

These Canadian movies and actors are real treasures ❤❤❤

[@mandisadlamini9662]

I'm from South Africa I'm telling you this is a 💯

[@patsywhitten4739]

Love lead actress. Great actress. Good acting all around.

[@cheriamour2429]

I think i saw this a long time ago and really liked it. But, i can'tremember anything. Want to keep watching, then things will ring a bell!

[@sohara....]

Me too. I think I saw it before, but don't remember a thing, except it was Canadian production or filmed in Canada, had "river" in title, and was good in a sombre -smouldering kinda way! 😊

[@laurametheny1008]

Pretty good. I don't quite understand how her Dad was free and the other lady not, but ok. Thanks for the upload. It was shot very well and believable🙏🕊️

[@granny58]

Why no investigation? He covered up a crime and.disposed.of two bodies.

[@firstbornjordan]

Agreed. One crime was under investigation, the other was never uncovered or investigated. Legally, he should have been arrested pending an investigation, bail granted, under suspension. After all, he admitted that Gower used the house gun, and both belonged to him. So, he could have shot them both, and disposed of the bodies. Only saving grace is that he said he loved her ... but who knows what happens in a fit of rage. Great and real, well acted.

[@user-cj5hm5hz1b]

YES!!! AGREED!!! WHY WAS THE FRIEND OF THE DAUGHTER ARRESTED and THE FATHER (the sheriff) ALLOWED TO STAY FREE??? GREAT MOVIE, but, TO ME, THAT PART MAKES NOOO SENSE AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! IF SHE....FORGET IT....... AGAIN, GREAT MOVIE, and THANKS FOR SHARING IT.

[@sw5400]

Maybe the statute of of limitation has run out?!

[@lilianaprina5991]

It seems small towns live by a different style of law making. They cover up their crimes and distort history daily, just like in this Riverbank movie...

[@lilianaprina5991]

A slow tempo interesting thriller with great images and beautiful landscapes.

[@firstbornjordan]

That is probably as close to the truth as it gets. I don't like small towns because they are a law unto themselves, I believe. No central form of governing authority.

[@j1947m]

You don't think that happens in OUR world?!

[@honkytonk4465]

​@firstbornjordan what????

[@user-eh3zv1ex5o]

Small towns are very dangerous for Outsiders......I know.

[@user-iv8ll4ty6o]

kari matchett is a great actress. should have gotten more work in hollywood. our loss.

[@NewYorkActingCoach]

Excellent. Actors who should be better known. Actors who have depth. I'm searching for a word . .-. it's rather astonishing.

[@krmccarrell]

2 thumbs up! I love non Hollywood movies. You know, the ones where there's all this dialog. But in non Hollywood movies you get atmosphere, you get pauses that you just don't get from Hollywood. Nice screenplay. I only partially guessed the ending. So-so acting. But I really enjoyed it. I highly recommended it, give it a go.

[@Tia-Louisa]

100%

[@micha2023]

Quite the convoluted movie. But interesting enough to keep me watching because of the cast, very well acted. Was a bit hard to follow sometimes, but ended well, actually as good as it could. Wow... I thought MY family was screwed up.

[@barbhaley1820]

Very good movie. Gotta love those family secrets

[@kayeninetwo3585]

It's a very good story. Acting was great, but I don't feel they used Kari Matchett's abilities to their full potential in this movie. We loved her in the Nero Wolfe series with Timothy Hutton.

[@sakkdrrbioerttyy9521]

what fascinate me the most was the brilliant acting, every act was so natural and believable

[@keshavmitra8s5k]

A great family film with mystery. Some secrets are never revealed or are revealed late. The ending of this film was very emotional. These elders were left alone at home.

[@michaelgroves6251]

Just watched this film, and I agree with comment from Izzy, Kari Matchett is a very talented actress. Very good film from start to finish.

[@nithianandhannaidoo7130]

Interesting movie,one to enjoy viewing.Must have been a terrible town keeping all those secrets.Some left a long time ago and others stayed but were miserable.Lucky the daughter came back and was able to unravel the mystery.Thanks for screening.❤

[@grammgale58]

Wow. If you can hang with a rather slow-moving mystery, it does come together nicely. Even this grammy liked it. Well-acted and nice cast.

[@lisasternenkind6467]

What a great movie and a story with depth and great characters played by superb actors! I can absolutely recommend watching this movie! 🎉

[@PenitentPenguin]

I'd never heard of her before (she's better known in Canada), then saw Kari Matchett in another suspenseful, free movie & she was really terrific! Am about to watch this, now. Love a good, suspense thriller...

[@carolynnorton9552]

I would not call this movie a thriller; it's barely a mystery. Good acting and directing.

Yup, predictable.....haha

What a joy ! To hit on a GOOD movie for a change....l not cheap and nasty and predictable with non talented actors and similar story lines... THIS movie is highly recommended! Wonder if ANOTHER exists ?? I will keep searching. Wish me luck..😜

[@nickfraser422]

because of lack of religion, discipline, the 10 commandments and put God first; ppl get into a right mess while the devil creates more misery. My memory is the effects of ostracism; being betrayed and deceived by family/friends I love and the destruction caused............never heals and lives are ruined.

[@stormyweather8798]

Both were wi÷rd apocalipse gear.

[@phina8392]

I loved her choice of clothes all through movie…

[@sophirichmanfletcher4657]

Even if you don't mind the cursing, which I do, it's an intense film. Domestic violence, childhood trauma, infidelity, several very dark themes. Unanswered questions about where two people ultimately wind up-- the answer to one seems implausible. Images I cannot erase trouble me in the middle of the night. I do not recommend this one and regret watching it.

[@Mmmm2217]

I just watched Russian Roulette with some good twists but all these movies have strange endings that leave you with WTF ! Hope this one is better. 👀🇦🇺👀🇦🇺👀🇦🇺

[@maryannswanson3832]

I find Kate to be So cold and rude. Especially concerning her dad, she's so nasty to him at all times. She hasn't even been there for 20 years and expects everyone to bow down to her as they explain everything that has happened! Just butting in.

[@sohara....]

Yes, she's acting like a child having a long slow quiet tantrum!

[@TLB-wo7ld]

I think it's her. lol. She was in another TV movie on youtube and was also quite cold and stuck up kind of character vibe. I mean probably fitting for the character but sometimes you can't help but feel the person/character itself might be the similar.

[@JoseSanMartinIII]

Pays to be the police chief, it was self-defense but his word only. Sometimes you can not go back. Still good movie.

[@marryannebuttigieg6760]

Great,movie worth watching,with lots of drama and suspense!❤

Those of you saying this movie had a sweet ending are crazy. Sad story of how secrets can tear a family apart.

Kair Marchett performance was excellent.

[@anilkanacherry6154]

She had a child and a loving husband and yet dumped them for a whole year to 'be happy' like her friend told the daughter. When Pheromones and hormones take out morality, children are the ones who pay the heaviest price.
