Walking Out

The film works best as a simple tale of a 'civilized' person's immersion in the natural world, conveyed through scenes of physical struggle.

Even when its plot starts to sag, "Walking Out" remains beautiful to watch.

It's a beautiful movie about unthinkable things.

Its unabashedly folky, less-is-more approach proves quietly moving.

Josh Wiggins makes an excellent and restrained stand-in for moviegoers who, more than likely, will have no idea what they'd do in his shoes.

A father and son are faced with a harrowing test of endurance in this snowy thriller with a burning heart.

[A] delicate story of fathers and sons...

A bit lacking in the drama department, even with a few terrific scenes to hold the movie together.

A brainy, emotional, and captivating survival tale.

Walking Out is modest in scope, its concerns limited to man's attempts to live both morally and harmoniously with nature.

Walking Out is the latest in a noble tradition of American films made about the subject, and in many ways bears similarities to Iñárritu's film, but unfortunately, can't replicate that which made The Revenant such a success.

[Alex and Andrew Smith] can always be counted on to make smart, evocative films about masculinity and the foundational relationship (or lack thereof) between fathers and sons. Their new film Walking Out once again delivers the goods.
