Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Mar 12, 2015
A lovely and touching third act helps make up for a wobbly, at times convoluted first hour in the quirky fantasy-dramedy "Walter." Go to Full Review

What a strange little indie film this is. Go to Full Review
Daniel M. Gold New York Times Mar 12, 2015
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. Go to Full Review

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

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. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media Mar 13, 2015
4/5
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. Go to Full Review

Mar 22, 2018 Tightly written, well acted. Not your average Hollywood film.
Han R Sep 30, 2017 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. See more
Hermione S May 20, 2017 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.

Finn S May 17, 2017 Quirky and interesting.
Harry M Jan 13, 2017 Bad even for an indie film. The whole concept is dumb. I wouldn't call it a comedy. There is nothing remotely funny here. (First and only viewing - 1/14/2017) See more
