Critics Consensus

Understated yet powerful, Driveways is a character study anchored in fundamental decency -- and a poignant farewell to Brian Dennehy.

Nick Schager

Esquire Magazine

Driveways isn't simply one of the late Brian Dennehy's final performances-it's also one of his finest.

What resonates is the movie's understanding of how we come and go through life, of how a house becomes a home, of how even the smallest acts of kindness can open doors that never quite close.

Richard Brody

The New Yorker

The three lead actors carry the movie and do the heavy dramatic lifting gracefully; their sheer presence reaches far beyond the confines of the story.

Loud and Clear Reviews

Driveways is both a fitting farewell to Brian Dennehy and an uplifting message for people everywhere, a film all should see and all can appreciate.

Rated: 4/5

Driveways could have easily gone the route of Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino or Pixar’s Up, and thankfully it never does.

I am an 83 year old man. That film was so thought provoking. It made me laugh, and it made me cry. I reviewed my life and counted my blessings. I wish I had seen a movie like that 30 or 40 years ago. It would have inspired me to be a better person. ‘Murph’

Such a good movie. Hong Chau really made a name for herself with this role. After this movie she became a household name.

One of the most beatiful, well-acted I've seen in a long time. Highly recommend.

Nice story, completely spoiled by inappropriate sexual matter and language. Very disappointed Brian would agree to such content co-acting with a child.
