Friends Gerry (Casey Affleck) and Gerry (Matt Damon) hike into Death Valley, but they stray so far from the trail that they have no idea how to get back. Initially, they maintain morale by rehashing old stories and reciting inside jokes, but the gravity of their situation sinks in as a return to civilization becomes more unlikely. As the sheer scope, hypnotic pull and spirit-crushing mirages of the desert affect the men, their will to live and sense of identity is challenged and transformed.

Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader The two stars...[Casey Affleck and Matt Damon]...both playing characters named Gerry, wander across the desert for some reason, and if you enjoy watching them on any pretext, you'll probably enjoy this; if you don't, you won't. Apr 11, 2008 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Absolutely transfixing at one moment and unbearably boring the next. Rated: B+ May 3, 2005 Full Review CJ Sheu Critics at Large What makes Gerry worth watching is in how it perfectly captures what it’s like to get lost in the wilderness. Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com A difficult, demanding sit, but it wouldn't have been nearly as fascinating and rewarding a film if it weren't. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 5, 2010 Full Review Leigh Johnson Hollywood.com Rated: 1/5 Nov 20, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s Filme ruim, o roteiro é horrível, esse filme não mostra nada, só tem dois cara no meio do nada sem fazer porra nenhuma o filme todo e foda-se. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Audience Member A short lengthened with crunchy walking Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Diana G The film is heavy with silence, inviting the viewer to interpret at will. Are they so close that they need no conversation? Do they have a goal or destination? Are they typically unprepared for their adventures? The lack of dialogue and the mindless marching adds to the sense of despair, makes a homicide look like an act of kindness, and survival a punishment. Very effective in conveying the devastation of thoughtlessness. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Mark P What an amazing waste of time. Fortunately, I had to water my lawn. Came and went several time and never missed a thing. Why? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Bruce G WOW. Who are these movie critics on Rotten Tomatoes? A 61%? This movie was totally boring and the plot was even more boring. If I had paid to see this at a theater, I would have walked out. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review surm t cerebral.
