	Flipside Movie Emporium: Mystic River Movie Review
		Mystic River isn't quite Unforgiven, but it's fine work nonetheless, a strong and memorable reminder that the "director" half of Eastwood's resume isn't just ego.
		Mystic River is at heart a meditation on masculinity, and how the desire for empowerment can become self-destructive.
		Mystic River may only be "pretty good," but thanks to Eastwood, it's a reminder of how great "pretty good" should be.

	Mystic River (2003) Movie Review - RopeofSilicon.com
		Mystic River is a Warner Bros. release directed by Clint Eastwood and was released in theaters on October 10, 2003.
		Mystic is filled with loop holes and misdirection in an attempt to blind you from what is going to happen in the end, but so many of the hidden truths are so obvious that it takes a lot away from what could have been a good movie.
		The Mystic characters are also so ruthless and unforgiving of their sins that it is hard to have any compassion for what happens to any of them.

	Mystic River - Review - Moviefone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Mystic River is the rare American movie that aspires to -- and achieves -- the full weight and darkness of tragedy.
		Eastwood's elegantly directed Mystic River, a deeply textured drama in which the sins (or perceived sins) of the past weigh heavily on the present.
		This is a true American beauty of a movie, a tale of men and their bonds told by and for adults who value the old-fashioned Hollywood-studio notion of narrative.

	'Mystic River' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		"Mystic River" is a major American motion picture, an overpowering piece of work that involves some of the most basic human emotions: love, hate, fear, revenge, despair.
		"Mystic River" is simultaneously an intricate and gripping crime story that involves child molestation and murder and a thoughtful and disturbing emotional drama about the nightmarish past sending destructive tentacles into the present.
		"Mystic River's" concern with violence and its aftermath, with how men behave under stress, make this very much an Eastwood film, one that is helped by the extent to which he's at home with this kind of material.

	Mystic River movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		“Mystic River” is a gruesome exercise, a funeral precession of heartache and pain.
		In both cases, though, their importance to the proceedings and emotions of “Mystic River” is deftly made clear, Eastwood only giving the two the briefest sequences to make that clear.
		Mystic River is a superbly acted, beautifully directed thriller that shows again what a great filmmaker Clint Eastwood can be.

	MYSTIC RIVER movie review, In Film Australia
		Although the identity of the killer is only conclusively revealed at the end of this movie, and the rest of it circulates around a gruesome homicide that took place one dark night in Boston, Mystic River is about grief, hurt and suspicion, and the fragility of the human experience.
		Mystic River is a film enveloped in bitterness, where guilt is subjectively assigned and where emotional consequences are severe.
		Dark and brooding, and wound together skilfully, Mystic River is one of Clint Eastwood’s better movies, and also one of the rare times in which he doesn’t direct himself.

	Mystic River - a Movie Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		Still, Mystic River is mostly free of that sort of thing.
		While this is a movie dominated by the men, Marcia Gay Harden stands out as Boyle's wife, whose uncertainty and nervousness grow to overshadow her love for her husband.
		Part of the problem is that her role seems clipped, so her big Lady Macbeth speech near the movie's conclusion comes out of nowhere.

	Mystic River Movie Review (Sean Penn, Tim Robbings, Kevin Bacon, Clint Eastwood) By Erin Cullin Empire Movies
		Mystic River is a movie that has a little something for everyone.
		At two hours and twenty minutes, it is a long movie but it is not one of those movies that feels so long that you are sitting in the theatre begging for it to end.
		Mystic River is a movie that I would recommend without hesitation.

	Mystic River Movie Review - Mystic River Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		Dennis Lehane's best-selling 2001 novel ''Mystic River'' wanted very, very much to be a Shakespearean tragedy set on the mean streets of South Boston, and it ultimately succeeded almost in spite of those ambitions.
		Among the ghosts the movie conjures up are the Marlon Brando and Elia Kazan of ''On the Waterfront.'' In a sense, Eastwood and his cast have refashioned that pillar of blue-collar agonistes for a generation without hope.
		It's somewhat odd, then, that you come out of ''Mystic River'' stunned by its female roles: by Linney as a strong man's stronger wife and Harden as a woman eventually moved by fear and secret lust to commit an unforgivable act.

	Mystic River: Movie-Source.com Mystic River Movie, Mystic River Preview, Mystic River Review
		Mystic River is the perfect blend of drama and crime, a story that reaches deep into the characters' souls - and the acting talents of the key players - while also providing a rich and intriguing plot that can keep even the most emotionally-insensitive people attentive.
		Most of his movies have been at least partly comical, but Mystic River is a change of pace; not only does he not appear in the movie, but it perhaps has two jokes in the entire running length of the film.
		The movie is slow but methodical, never breaking pace and able to pull the audience in more and more with every scene.

	Movie Spoiler for the film - MYSTIC RIVER
		This is a powerful, searing portrait of urban life in the underbelly of a shabby section of Boston near the Mystic River seaport in its story about three children who are forever bonded together by an unspeakable crime committed against one of them.
		"Mystic River" is the first mainstream studio movie in 2003 to deserve an A+ rating, and we have Clint Eastwood as the director and the motivating creative force to thank for this.
		There are enough noir-ish elements to "Mystic River" to call it an "East Coast film noir." This is a movie with character and cinematic proclivities distinctly different from the West Coast, the locale of most film noirs, but it is a true film noir nonetheless.

	Movie Review - Mystic River - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		It's fitting that Clint Eastwood's somber, elegiac "Mystic River" is as quiet as it is, being replete with characters who cannot communicate.
		This is literal in some cases, as with young Silent Ray, who is mute, and with the estranged wife of a police detective who calls her husband every day but refuses to say anything.
		Based on Dennis Lehane's novel and adapted by Brian Helgeland ("A Knight's Tale," "Blood Work"), "Mystic River" examines grief in its various forms: the grief of a father for his dead daughter, the grief of a damaged man for his lost childhood, the grief of a young Romeo for his Juliet.

	Mystic River review - movie review of the Clint Eastwood film starring Sean Penn
		Clint Eastwood's Mystic River is a long and sinuous journey into murky waters.
		While Sean and Dave are clearly fighting their demons from the beginning of the film, the role of women here is pivotal (Marcia Gay Harden as Dave's wife and Laura Linney as Jimmy's), and are shown, like Jimmy, as contrasted and flawed human beings who show their real faces by the film's end.
		Mystic River is also spiced with cultural commentary, from pedophile priests to overpriced coffeehouses, but what is interesting is how the film looks like a logical crossroads and continuation for three artists.

		The only thing standing in his way is the third member of the group, Sean (Kevin Bacon), who is the lead investigator on the case and not ready to believe that Dave might be responsible.
		is a hard movie to summarize in just a few sentences, which gives me even more appreciation for Eastwood and screenwriter Brian Helgeland (who almost makes good for that atrocious piece of junk that he released earlier this year, The Order).
		In a movie that doesn't take the easy way out, I think he tries to tie up too many loose ends.

	Mystic River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At one time, the Mystic River was home to great numbers of many species of fish, including salmon, alewife, blueback herring, striped bass, bluefish, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, bluegill, carp, and more.
		Although most of these species still live in the Mystic River, pollution and dam building have severely damaged the populations.
		Once described as having so many herring that one could cross the river on their backs, the Mystic River herring run is much much smaller than it was in historic times.

		'Mystic River' is one of the year's best films and one of the main reasons of that is the performances.
		Like in 'Lost in Translation', what in my opinion was the year's best film (although 'Kill Bill' and 'The Lord of the Rings' came close), every actor does a perfect job in creating a character with its own emotions and therefore they could be real people.
		The more the movie develops the more he shows us how good he is.

	Mystic River Movie Review
		His latest, however, an adaptation of Dennis Lehane novel, 'Mystic River' proves that you can never write the old geezer off, for this is an extraordinary piece of work; one of the finest pictures of the year and certainly Eastwood's best since 'Unforgiven' (1992).
		To say anything more about the plot of 'Mystic River' would be unfair, and though the narrative does rely on a couple of slightly implausible coincidences, Eastwood's work here is ravishing.
		Essentially an actor's film, 'Mystic River' moves with a quiet intensity, monumental performances (especially from Penn who is staggering) and the sort of intelligent, human drama which is so often bypassed by the mainstream.

	Unfashionable Observations Movie Review - Mystic River (2003)
		As intriguing as this sounds, this movie ultimately fails to capture our hearts on account of its over-exaggerated dramatic structure.
		This is one of those movies where you sit down, watch as the actors attempt to put as much feeling as they can into their roles, and then leave the theatre without so much as a blink.
		This movie consciously sets out to be an Oscar-winning drama, no doubt about it.

	Mystic River Movie review
		Clint Eastwood's moody, dark movie of Dennis Lehane's novel "Mystic River" is one of his best films as a director, topped only by "Unforgiven." This new film examines the result of a childhood trauma on three boyhood friends, and the ever-widening circles of other people it affects, directly and indirectly.
		Sean, Jimmy and Dave are friends, about 12, living in the same suburb in south Boston, near the Mystic River.
		The only serious failing of "Mystic River" is that it's hard to identify with the characters; each is so troubled, so dark that they remain at arm's length.

	Mystic River : Movie Review
		Mystic River, Clint Eastwood’s adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s textured novel, enjoys such clout, and with good reason.
		Some manage, but most do not, and River drowns in tedium and cumbersome symbolism as a result.
		He’s not afraid to take chances when selecting material, but his no-nonsense approach regardless of the content dooms this and other projects to a static and mind-numbingly wearisome state.

	Mystic River Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		These criticisms aside, Mystic River is undeniably the work of a mature and accomplished filmmaker whose passion for the material is readily apparent.
		On the surface, Mystic River is a police procedural, with all the elements in place for a whodunit; multiple suspects, red herrings, hardboiled cops and plenty of twists and turns.
		What makes the movie and the Dennis Lehane novel stand out, though, is the emotional depth of the story and the characters.
