Tim Brennan About Boulder Apr 21
If there’s one thing that Step Back, Doors Closing reminds us it’s the idea that our strongest connections can come out of nowhere. It’s a smart, sweet, perceptive indie film that deserves to be seen. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com Mar 6
2.5/5
A pleasant ramble about the buds of young love. But a ramble it is, no doubt accounting for too many moments where too little happens...one aspect where Carter Ward scores 10/10 is the work he elicits from his young leads. No signs of first-takeitis here. Go to Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages Mar 4
"'Step Back, Doors Closing' is essential viewing for Gen Z movie lovers, Washington D.C. natives and anyone who remains entranced by Linklater's 'Before Sunrise.'" Go to Full Review Jonita Davis The Black Cape (Medium) Feb 25
If there were a genre for Step Back, Doors Closing, a new film from writer/director Carter Ward, it would be the same genre as the Meg Ryan and Diane Keaton romance comedies of the late 80s and 90s. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Jan 25
3.5/4.0

Instead of stealing the Declaration of Independence, Step Back, Doors Closing is stealing hearts while wandering through the Smithsonian museums. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
