Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
he long stretches between stations make The Way Back an arduous road.
– Joe Williams,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
31 Jan 2011
rotten:
This is an impressive production and technical feat, but through most of it, I kept thinking about how difficult the filming conditions must have been, and not about the lives of the men in front of me.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,
31 Jan 2011
rotten:
The abiding sensation, at the end, is one not of fulfillment but of exhaustion.
– Anthony Lane,
New Yorker,
31 Jan 2011
fresh:
Eventually the film itself is something of an endurance test, and not as rewarding as it hopes to be. But it's a worthy venture, earnest and well-produced and occasionally gripping.

Weir has always loved atmospheric locales and group dynamics, and here he makes the most of both
