Primarily, this is a matter of pacing and sensibility. In avoiding some of the tawdrier aspects of today's movies, he's also failed to deliver some of the pleasures that audiences have come to expect. One of the movie's more serious drawbacks is that in his determination to set off in a new direction, Redford has made a film that seems almost anachronistic. In its determination to emphasize character and thoughtful content over formulas and facile sensationalism, it's a movie that's proudly out of step with Hollywood trends. Set in Montana between 19, it describes a life that is grounded in what would now be called traditional family values, with a heavy emphasis on morals, character and love of nature. Robert Redford's "A River Runs Through It" is a loving work of embracing nostalgia for a brighter, cleaner, more upright America.
