Lee Zumpe Tampa Bay Newspapers Immersed in a Southern Gothic context, “Walden” is an interesting take on vigilantism. Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Jon Mendelsohn CBR Walden, starring Emile Hirsch, is a mishmash of tones that doesn't work as a thriller, but the film's unexpected quirks keep it watchable.

L.L It was great! Emile Hirsch is such a great actor. He had the best lines and was great at delivering. I highly recommend watching it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review John C Just watched this one on a streaming service and, I don't know whether it's the general quality of the films on that particular service, but this one seemed a cut above the rest. I'm not sure about this movie's production history, i.e. whether it ever got a theatrical release, or was just one more piece of content destined to go straight to DVD (or 'steaming service' these days). But, either way, it does actually feel like it has a decent budget which can afford good actors and a tight script that does make it stand out. It's about an unassuming court scribe who everyone overlooks and therefore would never expect that he has a tendency to 'do away with' any criminals who don't get what they deserve in the courtroom. I won't go into any more detail regarding the rest of the plot as I don't want to spoil it, as this one is actually worth watching if you find it online. No, it's probably not worth paying the full price of a cinema admission, but definitely better than the sludge that you find clogging up most streaming services. There are a few times where you have to suspend your disbelief in order to let the film continue (in real life I'm guessing the story would end much earlier!), but it's still enjoyable enough to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Movie F if this movie does not become a Cult classic in 2 years, I will stop watching movies for the rest of my life Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Avindu G A stenographic vigilante is not a common theme and opens up vast number of avenues for the plot to grow. But the movie's first half was too distracted with introducing the manic nature of the central character rather than focusing on the plot's progress. Introducing irrelevant characters such as romantic partners wasn't making much effect or useful. Final twist was great but police showing their findings for the sake of neighborly acquaintance was one out of many illogical things in this story. However the visuals were haunting and performances were sincere. Walden is a story thats very much interesting when summed up. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Kathy M Complex Characters, Wonderful Antihero Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Jeffrey P A bit of a headscratcher; the only box it checks is the captivating lead performance. there's not much else holding this together.
