Edgy and dark indie drama. - Suspicious River review by CP Customer
This was a fairly decent indie drama/thriller. Molly Parker was up to her usual high standard and the story though often uncomfortable and bleak was completely absorbing. If your a fan of independent film then this is well worth a rental, and if you enjoy this check out 'The Sweet Hereafter' which is very similar in tone.
