Stephen Farber

The Hollywood Reporter

While this road movie may not have great originality or huge box-office potential, it's a low-key charmer with a large-souled performance at its center.

Robert Abele

Los Angeles Times

The script (by director Gary Lundgren with James Twyman) is modestly feel-good to a fault and the scenery expectedly beautiful, but it's the unforced acting providing the most nourishment.

Variety

Solid acting overcomes a lack of dynamic tension in this family-friendly film.

Rob's Movie Vault

It is, among other things, a sharp distaff rejoinder to the male-centered, sour-faced "Nebraska."

Wonderful movie. No pretentious or "gorgeous" actors. And better yet, no hugely famous actors. Real story line, great acting. Heartwarming, interesting to watch, beautiful nature scenes. This is film making!

Another wee fable about being old - these are very appealing these days! Unlike 'The Great Beauty' watched recently, this is a low-key, largely straight narrative, focusing on the central character's inner process and outward journey. A pleasure to watch.
