Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter A feet-on-the-ground fantasy with a nicely underplayed comic tone, Well Wishes is part road trip, part romance and part starting-over fable. Oct 7, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This director has ambition but I would encourage audiences to look closer. The camera work is great, production design is great, but in the end something just does not sit right. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Though clearly heartfelt, the narrative lands too softly, in part because Miles' journey doesn't feel like a huge leap. When we first meet him he's misguided, having settled for material and emotional comforts. But his sincerity and good nature are never in doubt. And the story's ultimate surprise isn't likely to surprise anyone, undercutting the intended impact of Boyd's points about appearance-based assumptions and narrow definitions of success. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member If not for the paint-by-numbers ending, you may leave feeling inspired. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun, bare-bones Netflix movie. An original conceit for a story, if you can go along with a "tall-tale" as I've seen it described. Cute romance, charming humor. Doesn't overstay its welcome! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a sweet, fantastic little movie and ambitious for a film of its size. Feels like a lost Capra movie.Highly recommended! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Very average movie. Plot mostly predictable, very little suspense. Acting OK. Nothing really wrong with it, but neither is there much to make it stand out. Belongs in the group "Time-fillers". Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
