Bruce DeMara Toronto Star 03/24/2016
2.5/4
Road movies have become all too common. But the cast is excellent and there's a genuine sweetness and poignancy that makes this one worth the journey. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times 03/10/2016
By the film's end, you're left with a sketch more than a full portrait. The characters were fleetingly interesting, yet you don't feel as if you have come to know them. Go to Full Review
Frank Lovece Film Journal International 03/30/2016
Riddled with [...] plot shortcuts and logic holes. Go to Full Review
Chris Knight National Post 03/23/2016
2.5/4
The actors (including Danny Glover as the law) are a fine bunch, but the screenplay can't find anything original to do with them. Go to Full Review

JP A Aug 28 We love it🥰🥰 it's pure and soul lifting. Great movie.. See more Steve D 02/06/2024 Flawed but the cast do a great job See more 08/23/2017 How indie is this movie? Well, it's title is About Scout. See more 03/31/2017 Not too bad of a little movie. Charming. See more 01/17/2017 there is only so much decent-good acting can do for a paint pealingly boring script See more 06/08/2016 The bad reviews are surprising on this one. I think this is a great movie that looks at the tragedy in its plot with a wry youthful smile. The lead actors are top-notch, and their chemistry is great. I'd watch it again.
