A lovely and touching third act helps make up for a wobbly, at times convoluted first hour in the quirky fantasy-dramedy "Walter."

What a strange little indie film this is.

Rated: 2/5

New York Times

The narrative is effectively constructed and the cinematography is crisp. Even so, in touching lightly on themes without committing to any of them, the movie falls flat.

I found it too much of a reach to go with this absurd conceit and was immediately turned off.

Walter isn't quite like anything you've seen before. Shot partly in Indianapolis on a shoestring budget, this quirky comedy is one of the best films out right now.

Rated: 4/5

Common Sense Media

The slow compromise of this perfect world, and Walter's increasingly messy interactions with other human beings (Madsen and William H. Macy are especially good), provide both laughs and heart.

Rated: 4/5

I thought this was the transition between young Sheldon and the big bang theory.

An innovative look into the mental health of a teenager, with a good story and good acting.

Tightly written, well acted. Not your average Hollywood film.

The best thing about this movie is the music...oh, yeah, and when the credits roll. What an incredibly dull and boring waste of time.

I'll watch anything with William H. Macy, and this film is no exception and I was glad I did--it was a warm and sweet plot about a young man learning to face the truth about death and grief, and the ultimate realization that everyone must make in the journey from childhood to becoming an adult--that your parents are human with faults, just like everyone else--they are not perfect gods, even if they are dead.
