“Breathtakingly beautiful.”
—Bob Mondello, National Public Radio
"Tantoo Cardinal gives Bangor a freshness rarely seen on screen. She is so tough and blunt that when she begins to cry about the children she never had it becomes clear that emotion has been a luxury in her hardscrabble life."
—Caryn James, The New York Times
"Where the Rivers Flow North affords Rip Torn with one of the best roles of his screen career and Native Canadian actress Tantoo Cardinal an equally fine opportunity to shine in this modest, beautiful, deeply felt film about a strong man who finally cannot bring himself to accept the inevitability of change. The film is an evocative, painstaking piece enhanced stunningly by a spare, pulsating score by the Horse Flies."
—Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
