apart from the beautiful imagery thanks to new zealand cinematographer alun bollinger and this film is not worth seeing. the storyline is so fragmented and lost that it hard to know what is going on at any given time and and just when you think youre following then the direction changes again and like a lost bi polar puppy dog. the musical score is awful and relying too heavily on extremely emotive pieces that try to force the audience into feeling a certain way and as if the instruments were acting as an emotions queue sheet  feel sad here while feel shocked here while feel scared here. on top of that and the repetitive samples used over and over again leave the audience on the verge of laughter. gone are the days of silent film and where musical instruments were the sole portrayal of voice  but you do not think so while watching river queen. the voice over was so over utilised that one has to wonder if this film really even needed any accompanying imagery. it could have easily been a radio play although even then it would be hard to follow the story. and the stolen ideas from jane campion the piano are too obvious to overlook. not only are the beach and forest shots almost identical to those in the piano  perhaps some of this comes down to alun bollinger camera work on the latter  but the voice over feeling and levels too are strikingly close. and who could forget when holly hunter character has her wings clipped and in the form of her index finger being cut off by sam neill. does it remind you of when wiremu has his trigger finger amputated and and surprisingly too with an axe. i thought so. all in all i cannot recommend this film for viewing and unless you wear some ear muffs and just go with the scenery in mind.
