Leah Pickett Chicago Reader The nonlinear, dreamlike narrative focuses on internal as much as external journeys, with strangers connecting across racial, cultural, and generational divides to express wisdom or compassion. Sep 28, 2017 Full Review Mark Feeney Boston Globe Mostly people talk. Lovely to look at, "In Transit" is even better to listen to. Rated: 3/4 Aug 31, 2017 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times At 76 minutes, the movie may seem modest, but there are shades of Jack Kerouac and Studs Terkel in its chronicler's ambitions, and echoes of John Ford in its portrayal of how Americans form communities. Jun 22, 2017 Full Review CJ Sheu Critics at Large In a way that few non-allegorical films, let alone fly-on-the-wall documentaries, can, In Transit presents us with a microcosm of civilization. Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Jon Hogan Hyperallergic Many of the passengers' realizations, though, are rife with trite, self-help clichés... Just as the eye rolls become more frequent, though, the viewer feels the reassuring hand of a master documentarian on his or her shoulder. Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Nathanael Hood Screen Comment The final feature by Albert Maysles...it utilizes the unobtrusive techniques he helped pioneer...to capture a stirring cross-section of humanity locked in a temporary purgatory.
