      Audience Member It truly means well and Jason Patric puts soul into his performance, but The Journey of August King ultimately just comes off as terribly misguided crap. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Frances H One of those films that reminds one that no matter how dark and cruel the times, some people rise to the challenge and do the right,moral thing at the cost of everything they thought they wanted to find that living with yourself comes first. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/28/14 Full Review Audience Member A must watch; escape from Dixieland. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a truly beautiful and inspiring film. I've been meaning to see if for quite some time and I was very pleased with the plot and the incredible acting by Jason Patric and Thandie Newton. Simply beautiful. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't believe this hasn't gotten better ratings! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member (*** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] A moving, well-acted film.

      James Berardinelli ReelViews Rated: 4/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The movie is good-hearted, earnest and handsome to look at. But it is boring. The pacing, which is meant to be thoughtful, is lethargic. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 9, 2005 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Rated: 2/5 Oct 3, 2002 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Heart-affecting drama about the spiritual potency of freedom and the redemptive power of love.
