J. R. Jones Chicago Reader May 29, 2014
Writer-director Tom Gilroy has worked with Yelich previously and makes his youthful character the quiet, watchful center of this 2013 indie drama. Go to Full Review

B-
Gilroy takes all of this to a more realistic, more interesting place, and he manages to find an ending for the story that offers a touch of optimism but doesn't feel like a cheat. Go to Full Review
Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com Mar 14, 2014
3.5/4
As written and directed by Tom Gilroy, it consists entirely of discoveries. Go to Full Review
Prairie Miller NewsBlaze Apr 16, 2014
Best when dramatizing how the land itself comes alive and serves as a character in its own right, resurrecting the buried history of the US Anti-Rent Resistance Movement of the 19th century. And perhaps a lesson well taught to an endangered rebel child. Go to Full Review
Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Mar 13, 2014
3.5/5
A likeable drama about an eleven-year old who survives living on his own in the forest but finds it more difficult to get by when he returns to civilization. Go to Full Review
