	AboutFilm.com - Mystic River (2003)
		Though Mystic River is not ultimately about Jimmy's journey, the film belongs to Penn. Typically, Penn needs a strong director to reign in his instinct to chew the scenery—without a forceful hand, you get Hurlyburly and She's So Lovely.
		Mystic River concerns a murder and the hunt for a killer, but it is not a thriller, at least not in the traditional sense of the word.
		Mystic River is not about who-done-what, but, much like In the Bedroom, about why who-done-what, and what that reveals about all of us, as human beings.

	Mystic River - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Mystic River is also the name of a short river in Massachusetts which lies to the north of and approximately parallel to the Charles River.
		Encompassing 76 square miles of watershed, the river flows from the Lower Mystic Lake, and travels through the Boston, Massachusetts area communities of Arlington, Medford, Somerville, Everett, Charlestown, Chelsea, and East Boston, and empties into Boston Harbor.
		Extensive salt marsh lined the banks of the river until 1909 when the first dam was built (converting all the salt marsh to freshwater marsh, and enabling development).

		Mystic River has only one misstep, and that occurs at the conclusion (and is reflective of problems with the book's final pages).
		Mystic River is haunting and melancholy, and the portraits it paints of Jimmy, Dave, and Sean will stay with you after you have left the theater.

	CNN.com - Books - Author Dennis Lehane plumbs depths of human misunderstanding in 'Mystic River' - January 30, 2001
		"Mystic River" uses the whodunit premise to delve deeply into the conundrum of how people who are supposedly "close" are actually as far from one another as distant planets whirling through the void.
		No characters in "Mystic River" really get to the festering heart of the matter until it is too late.
		As such, "Mystic River" is a crime novel which both uses and transcends genre to address basic questions at the heart of the human soul, a place often much darker than we care to admit.

	Powell's Books - Mystic River by Dennis Lehane
		Dennis Lehane's gripping, moving Mystic River blurs the line between genres; at times you can't be sure if you're reading "literature" or "crime fiction." With characters this rich and a setting so vivid that you can feel yourself inhabit it, one assumes it must be "literature" with a capital L.
		A tense and unnerving psychological thriller, Mystic River is also an epic novel of love and loyalty, faith and family, in which people irrevocably marked by the past find themselves on a collision course with the darkest truths of their own hidden selves.
		Mystic River was a finalist for the PEN/Winship Award and won both the Anthony Award and the Barry Award for Best Novel as well as the Massachusetts Book Award in Fiction given by the Massachusetts Center for the Book.

	Mystic River (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Brian Helgeland's screenplay for Mystic River hews closely to the popular page-turner of a novel by Dennis Lehane, a dark story set in working-class Boston.
		Mystic River adeptly juggles the intersecting story lines of the three principals--the police procedural centered on Sean, the history and vengeance of Jimmy, and the tortured, schizoid pressures still gnawing at Dave.
		Penn's role is the kind at which he does best--cool and calculating on the outside, strong emotion kept under pressure until it spews forth like a geyser reaching its blowing point.

	Film Reviews \| Mystic River
		Mystic River is based on a novel by Dennis Lehane, but structurally and thematically it falls right into a familiar pattern.
		Set in a tough Irish neighborhood on the Mystic River which, in the movie, is identified as Boston, a geographic impossibility, and which is no doubt Somerville, we’re introduced to three kids playing street hockey: Jimmy, Sean, and Dave.
		Mystic River is not just a magnificent film, but another magnificent film in what would be an unbroken line of them if it weren’t for Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (oh, well).

	Slant Magazine - DVD Review: Mystic River
		lint Eastwood's Mystic River is a somber evocation of a poor, close-knit section of Boston on the brink of moral collapse.
		Eastwood's mystical tour through the film's Boston town begins in the past, when a boy is stripped of his innocence by two wolves in sheep's clothing.
		If Dogville is a ravishing autopsy of American terrorism, Mystic River is a heart-wrenching act of worship: a holy observance of the way evil spreads like a pestilence (specifically referred to as vampirism in the film) from the past into the present.

	"Mystic River" - Salon.com
		In the working-class Boston neighborhoods of "Mystic River," the most feral and the most ruthless creatures become the natural kings, and anyone who's too sensitive or too damaged needs to be sacrificed for the good of the tribe.
		"Mystic River" isn't a complete departure from Eastwood's usual mode of filmmaking, but it is a refinement of it.
		That may seem overly picky, but it's worth mentioning because "Mystic River" is almost instantly absorbing -- it doesn't so much hook you in as envelop you in a treacherous, vaporous embrace.

	It Came from the Mystic
		The success of Mystic River as melodrama and art is precisely what I mistrust about it, because that success comes with dubious baggage in tow -- baggage that is less obviously dubious than the Nazi propaganda served by Leni Riefenstahl's artistry in Triumph of the Will (1935) but still consequential (2).
		In Mystic River, the most brutal violence, the stuff that drew audible ripples of shock from the audience, is the outrageous violence of child on child.
		Mystic River ends with the chilling vision of a sunlit parade, where it indeed seems, that all sins are buried and washed clean.

		The stars of the film, however, are the wives and daughters of the men--the catalyst and loci of action and rage, frustration and melancholy.
		When Mystic River works, it works by finding the poetry in the cult of manhood--a Robert Bly shrine, in its way, that identifies the cross-beams of a male's crucifix, now and forever, as culture in ascendance and beast in denial.
		Mystic River, in fact, is a lot like its theory of masculinity: this brute phantom that haunts every generation like a pestilence passed down through a sex act that, in the film, is reduced to either sadism and exploitation or a celebration of the same.

	Mystic River is Clint Eastwood's best film yet. - By David Edelstein - Slate Magazine
		In the prologue to Mystic River, set in 1975, three boys, Jimmy, Sean, and Dave are writing their names in wet cement when two men claiming to be policemen approach.
		The bulk of Mystic River (the book and the movie) is set 25 years later, in the Flats (a composite of several working-class neighborhoods north and south of Boston), where those three boys have evolved in dramatically different ways.
		Mystic River is finally about how that opening violation ripples into the present, deforming all the lives in this tight-knit, working-class community.

		Notably excluding Eastwood himself this time, that ensemble is headed by Sean Penn, Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon as the grown-up boys, Marcia Gay Harden and Laura Linney as two of their wives and Laurence Fishburne as a cop on the case.
		"Mystic River" is a gripping genre entertainment - a murder mystery with fair clues, devious red herrings and a surprise ending - and a realistic drama about a community in the throes of change, teetering on moral disintegration.
		If life is a river and crime and hate are undertows dragging us down to chaos, then "Mystic River" is one of the prime recent maps charting that dangerous territory.

		Maybe I've just seen too many episodes of The Practice, but the whodunit portion of Clint Eastwood's Mystic River was so easy to crack, I was able to do so while listening to Game Four of the Red Sox-Yankees ALCS in one ear.
		River, in case you've missed the commercials, is the overly praised 24th film directed by Eastwood (hey, if Tarantino can get away with it, why not Clint?).
		It's kind of a backhanded compliment when people say River is his best film in years, especially when you consider those years included Absolute Power and True Crime.

	Mystic River - Sean Penn
		On the surface “Mystic River” is a crime thriller, but beneath, it is an allegory about how pain from the past plays in on our lives, about how things never spoken about publicly eats us up inside.
		Each of the three men, once childhood friends, carry an unspoken pain and fear within them: Jimmy, because of the loss of his daughter, Sean, having worked his wife out of his life, and finally Dave, who was abused for four days as a child.
		As a last note, I have to mention the acting, as it is impossible to talk about “Mystic River” and not to talk about the acting, as it has some of the most impressive, if not the best performance of any Eastwood film.
