Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) It’s OK to let it all out and bawl. It has, after all, been a very long road... Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Eric Marchen Rogers TV The story of documentary filmmaker and renowned photographer Dianne Whelan and her six-year journey along the Trans Canada Trail is inspiring. Rated: B+ Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Whelan's five cameras captured it all as she reached deep inside for the guts to accomplish the goal. What a film! What a woman!

Ian G A beautiful an outstanding journey of self-discovery by the Director Dianne Whelan. I could watch it again and again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Grace B Absolutely catfished by the title. She indeed did not only spend 500 days in the wild. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Joanne S I loved this movie. Dianne Whelan is such an inspiration and it was a gift to follow her 6-year journey. What a beautiful film! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Vera N I'm very sorry, I tried to watch the film twice given the tremendous work that went into this multi-year project. It just didn't engage for me, but I'm sure it will find the right audience! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Denise R Stunning, moving, heartfelt, epic. Not enough superlatives. If you take this journey, you will come out changed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Kirstin N Gorgeous scenery and beautifully filmed but the narration was a bit much at times. Supposedly a journey of reconciliation in part but it didn't speak to me. I am a member of the Chapleau Cree First Nation, treaty 9 territory. Honouring ancestors is great but honour the people who are here right now and acknowledge on whose territory you travel. I found the film to be very inconsistent in this regard. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
