Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Okay, since the destination is preordained, what does the script do en route? Estevez's answer is two-fold: minor episodic adventures + incessantly repeated montages.

Estevez takes full advantage of the beautiful mountain scenery, dramatic skies and ancient architecture to give us moments of quiet wonder.

Heartfelt if occasionally plodding.

rotten:
With "The Way," writer-director Emilio Estevez has made a respectable failure.

It could have come out sentimental, but doesn't. The secret is the matter-of-factness.
