Noel Murray AV Club An American Journey is short and scattered, and doesn't follow through often enough on its "catching up with The Americans 50 years later" premise. Rated: C Oct 1, 2009 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times An American Journey is a movie about the making of a book, which puts it in a fairly narrow category. Rated: 2/5 Sep 30, 2009 Full Review Bill Weber Slant Magazine American Journey works only sporadically as a supplement to the cultural moment it chronicles, and the passionate, serendipitously intimate breadth of Frank's lens. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 28, 2009 Full Review Matthew Nestel Boxoffice Magazine The film's incredibly understated with its depiction of a tarnished land of the free and promises to captivate Europeans and venturesome Americans willing to subject themselves to a bruised utopia. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 2, 2009 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A mildly engaging documentary that's occasionally insightful, but not quite thorough and illuminating enough to make a truly strong impression. Rated: 6.1/10 Oct 2, 2009 Full Review Daniel Eagan Film Journal International An impressionistic look at The Americans, Robert Frank's groundbreaking book of photographs, including interviews with some of the figures involved.
