An old man walks the dusty roads between his isolated farm and the nearby rural village in the company of a silent spirit whose death he witnessed fifty years earlier. For decades, the old man's regret over losing his mother to tuberculosis has bred a pathological need to ease the suffering of the terminally ill, and over the years, he has quietly euthanized several sick women. As he realizes that his spectral companion is able to transport him back in time, the old man trespasses into his own past to set in motion a plan to convince his younger self to preempt his mother's terminal suffering.

Wendy Ide Screen International The juxtaposition of the banal and the supernatural may draw comparisons with the work of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, but perhaps a better reference would be the heady oddness of Mati Diop’s Atlantics. Dec 20, 2022 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Do was marked as a filmmaker to watch. Her third effort shows maturation and improvement that supports that claim. Her unique voice and heady themes won't appeal to everyone, however. Rated: 3/5 Dec 20, 2022 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News A spellbinding tale that clings to you long after the film is over. Rated: 3/4 Mar 17, 2022 Full Review Katelyn Nelson Daily Grindhouse Watching the pieces of The Long Walk fall into place is a gut-wrenching experience with the kind of emotional punch that leaves you dazed. It is at once an endlessly bleak and hopeful journey through one man's efforts to heal damage done to him Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Both of these characters are moral mentors who help draw out our deepest feelings and beliefs about moral education, nonviolence, church, prejudice, empathy, conscience, and commitment. Dec 20, 2022 Full Review Cheryl Eddy io9.com Ghosts and time travel blend seamlessly in Laotian director Mattie Do's new genre-bending film. Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Greg H I watched this movie a week ago and can't get it out of my head. I don't fully understand it all. But, I know I love it. Definitely one that will take multiple viewings. Which I'm definitely up for. Wish there were more like it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Audience Member A haunting movie that has to be watched more than once to fully understand and appreciate. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review brad p The Long Walk is an epic experience that, despite taking place in the same bit of land, spans decades of pain and rage. It's a film that digs into your heart and chokes you with tears. It's a masterpiece in genre filmmaking. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Ellie R Simple and complicated, dark and beautiful. I was mesmerized from start to finish. Imagine how much richer the film industry would be if we found actual talent like this in the world and enriched it (diverting funds from 50+ million dollar American atrocities). This competes with some of the best films I've seen in the last 5 years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/22 Full Review ard v The Long Walk is a sensitive and intelligent film about a time-travelling serial killer who talks with ghosts, set in the near-future. Try and top that. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
