"Causeway possesses detailed, subtle performances by Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry - excellent chemistry - who truly carry the film on their shoulders.

Lila Neugebauer doesn't bring anything new to the military subgenre of "veteran returns home", but she knows how to give the spotlight to the actors, making the best possible decisions for them to shine.

Formulaic and predictable but interesting enough for fans of these types of stories."

Rating: B-
