What makes A/Way stand out is its unfiltered, truthful depiction of human feelings and hardships, alongside McDonald’s raw and vulnerable performance.

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

Battle Royale With Cheese

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.

About Boulder

This jewel of a film knows that when the luggage is packed and you step outside your comfort zone, you’re actually expanding it.

A/way , from Derek Shane Garcia, leaves a lasting impression not through grand revelations, but through its quiet, introspective moments.

Loved this! A quiet, emotional indie film that hits harder than you'd expect. The dialogue throughout feels legitimately real and resoundingly powerful. Rosie McDonald is great as Anna, a travel writer dealing with grief while on assignment in Martinique. The mix of real interviews with locals and the fictional (exceptionally scripted!) storyline gives it a raw, honest feel. It’s slow, reflective, and charming. If you’re into introspective films about self-exploration, loss, and healing, this one’s worth your time. Beautifully directed, emotionally real, and refreshingly written.
