Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A popular Aussie miniseries
A love story between a headstrong independant woman Delie Gordon (Sigrid Thornton) and a riverboat captain Brenton Edwards (John Waters) and the river that brings them together.
Going by another review, All The Rivers Run (now on DVD, Region 0, digitally enhanced 2 disc version with a run time of 293 minutes) is apparently still not the full series.




Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - CUT TO SHREDS
Lovely mini-series but this is cut to shreds. Not worth the purchase with so much deleted!!!!!!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - DISGRACEFUL!
A wonderful movie chopped to pieces. I remember the original when it was shown on HBO and it was in four two hour parts. Get that if you can and not this. Gave this one star because zero stars isn't an option.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Missing scenes, but still wonderful
I grew up watching All the Rivers Run with my mom when it would play on cable. I was thilled when I was able to purchase this for my collection and be able to watch it over and over. It is missing some beautiful scenes, but it is still a treasure. I am hoping they will release a DVD collection with the missing footage. However, I would still recommend this lovely, heartfelt movie.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Get this on DVD from Australia
'All the Rivers Run' is one of my favorite Aussie mini-series. It's right up there with 'A Town Like Alice.' Since it appears you can only get this in VHS format in the US, you should know that one can purchase this mini-series on DVD online from Australia. It is available in Region 0 format, which will play worldwide. However, even that version is edited down to 293 minutes in length from the original.
