J. R. Jones Chicago Reader [Subject] Phillips is a lot better at walking than talking, and his musings seem especially insipid intercut with audio clips of Herzog's sage observations. Aug 10, 2007 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The real interest in the film is not the journey or even Linas Phillips, but the people he meets on the way. Rated: 3/4 Aug 10, 2007 Full Review Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune Even the most ardent Herzog admirer may want to hail this fledgling documentarian a cab and call it a day. Rated: 2/4 Aug 9, 2007 Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International By the end of Walking to Werner, we are no worse off but we are not much better either. Sep 4, 2007 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide Despite the callow, self-absorbed aspects of Phillips' undertaking, there's something endearing about his determination to recreate -- and then some -- a 30-year-old gesture that looked nutty then and only looks nuttier now. Rated: 2/4 Jul 20, 2007 Full Review Paula Nechak Seattle Post-Intelligencer It's the closest thing to a cinematic religious experience I can think of -- all combined with Phillips' terrific sense of visual style, humor and willingness to risk life for art. Rated: A Jun 29, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I just saw this the other night. It was extremely moving and reminds us of just how fragile and human we are under our shells. Extra plus if you are a Werner Herzog fan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
