Bruce DeMara Toronto Star Mar 24, 2016
2.5/4
Road movies have become all too common. But the cast is excellent and there's a genuine sweetness and poignancy that makes this one worth the journey. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times Mar 10, 2016
By the film's end, you're left with a sketch more than a full portrait. The characters were fleetingly interesting, yet you don't feel as if you have come to know them. Go to Full Review
Frank Lovece Film Journal International Mar 30, 2016
Riddled with [...] plot shortcuts and logic holes. Go to Full Review
Chris Knight National Post Mar 23, 2016
2.5/4
The actors (including Danny Glover as the law) are a fine bunch, but the screenplay can't find anything original to do with them. Go to Full Review
Susan G. Cole NOW Toronto Mar 9, 2016
3/5
There are plot holes galore, but the actors have terrific chemistry and make you care about their characters. Go to Full Review

Draco S Jan 17, 2017 there is only so much decent-good acting can do for a paint pealingly boring script
