It's not hard to see the appeal of the Camino, in its simplicity and potential -- even if Smith's film can depict only aspects of the experience, and isn't able to explore its after-effects.

Rated: 3/5

Six travelers traverse hundreds of miles along Spain's famed Camino de Santiago by foot in Lydia B. Smith's genial documentary, which gradually reveals itself as part travelogue and part spiritual quest.

The result is a travelogue with self-help bromides, or an Esalen workshop with blisters.

The film is unquestionably 'feel good' cinema, but this does not mean it is devoid of challenge or reality.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

Way Too Indie

Soulful, spiritual, invigorating, accepting, and so damn pretty, Walking the Camino feels like a warm hug on a sunny day.

Rated: 7.9/10

Walking the Camino makes me wish I could walk it today. It could be a promotional film for the Camino but I think it works even for people who are unable to make that 500-mile pilgrimage because we are all on a journey, we are never finished.

Was good to learn more about it, but the stories did not resonate.

Having watched this just 4 days after returning from my own Camino, the memories were still very raw. For someone who has experienced the camino for themselves it's a wonderful film, being able to relate to each and everyone of the main protaganists experiences with awe and occasionally horror, whilst making me want to do it all over again. I cannot speak for those viewers who haven't walked, only to say that I hope it inspires you to do so yourself. Buen Camino!

So many learnings on a journey through 6 different sets of eyes. A humbling life experience for anyone courageous enough to take the step/s. Gems like "A bad day for the ego is a good day for the soul" are abundant.

This is the documentary of the year to see. I saw it in on the big screen. It would be cool to watch it on Blu-Ray. This film will wow you, make you laugh, make you cry, and make you totally "Walk the Camino"

Wish there was a little more in depth storyline. However I certainly feel like going for a walk now.
