McDonald is quite the wonder here, her quiet vulnerability and natural performance perfectly aligning with scenes where she's collaborating with non-actor Martinique locals. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
A beautifully etched rumination about loss and romance...A finely honed cinematic squib that doesn’t follow a conventional structure, A/way nonetheless delivers a satisfying sense of closure. Go to Full Review

A/way may not be the perfect “gateway drug” for indie cinema, but its themes of travel and self-discovery keep on an age-old tradition told through a creative, innovative lens. Go to Full Review

Shreya G @Shreyaghosh123 Dec 20 A very unique and thought-provoking movie about grief, loneliness, and finding your place in the world. See more Dane T Dec 11 A truthful and compelling journey. Beautifully acted and shot! The documentary style blend with a narrative is a fresh look at storytelling. Loved it! See more Valerie R @Vrasnake Dec 9 Had the pleasure of watching this movie last year at the ocean city film festival! Great cast and loved the storyline! If you haven’t watch this film yet, definitely go see it!!! See more Zach G Dec 8 A beautiful mediation on loss. And meditation is the right word – the film finds a lovely quiet pace, especially considering what it's juggling stylistically. Found myself as engaged by the documentary sections (some of the sweetest, most charming parts of the film) as by the narrative sections. The lead performance is very strong and vulnerable and eminently watchable. See more Robert L @LaurenceDad Dec 3 What a great immersive experience - the performances and shots were really beautiful, and the movie seemed to breathe. I felt like I was on a vacay, and also meditating on family and purpose all at once. See more Camie C Dec 1 Wonderful performances and beautifully shot. Excellent story of loss, family, relationships, and self-acceptance and ultimately self-love. This movie will stay with you. Highly recommend! See more Read all reviews
