Critics Consensus

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

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.

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.

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.

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

A cute and emotional story of small town America and the people trying to get by. Well-scripted and well-acted.

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.

A movie with bottomless compassion for its characters and the audience. The story feels both familiar and new, probably because of the way it lingers on certain small moments of pain or joy.
