Roger Ebert
The River Niger, a film about a series of crises in an American black family, has good intentions and several very well acted scenes. But its direction is a mess. ( Read More )
But for the rest, the film just doesnt ring true to human experience; its all too obviously a showcase for its unbelievably complicated situations. ( Read More )

The play was award winning, but as a film, The River Niger is a washout. ( Read More )
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A touching family drama, an exploration of black identity and a moving parable about love ( Read More )
