Annie Flores Austin Chronicle The film successfully evokes all the hair-raising tension of a time not too far behind us, and creates a commentary on class, race, and societal values that continue to resonate nearly three years on. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Traveling Light continues Rose’s ongoing efforts to create haunting miniatures about life in Los Angeles with a classical twist. Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Rene Rodriguez Variety An experimental attempt at social commentary that fails to provide any insight, emotion or even entertainment of the most basic kind. Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Alejandro Turdó Hoy Sale Cine In spite of some minor focusing missadjustments, Traveling Light paints a grounded picture about struggling people looking for redemption and inner peace in the midst of a global crisis. Rated: 7/10 Jul 6, 2023 Full Review Ronak Kotecha ronakkotecha.wordpress.com Traveling Light, though heavy-handed at times, makes a valiant attempt at capturing the ethos and atmosphere of the COVID era. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 4, 2023 Full Review Tony Asankomah GhMovieFreak "Traveling Light" is a thought-provoking film that successfully navigates themes of privilege, societal divisions, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
