| Sep 04, 2008Urban Cinefile
A well-made film about teenagers forced to make adult decisions, Mean Creek turns a boat ride on a beautiful summer's day in Oregon into a nightmare filled with ominous shadows.
Beautiful cinematography offers a sharp contrast between the beauty of nature and the ugliness of the unexpected events that occur

The small, quiet moments build tension even more so than the powerful sequences of verbal battery; the young actors, especially Rory Culkin and Carly Schroeder, are absolutely fantastic....
But with "Mean Creek", they get a chance to really perform complex, heartfelt characters with a lot of depth and layers behind them.

It is deftly directed and its cast is uniformly good, but it feels a little too much as if it has been devised with instruction in mind.
Estes creates a sense of the uneasy interplay between the boys, of moments of needling and swagger
