Critic Reviews

Claudia Puig

A bittersweet relationship drama with enough honest emotion and gentle humor to move even the steeliest heart. Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

Mr. Walken performs with a marvelously minimalist precision.

Rick Groen

Who would have guessed that, among all the cutesy curves in Around the Bend, the guy walking the straightest line is Christopher Walken? Read full review

Connie Ogle

If nothing else, director/screenwriter Jordan Roberts knows good music. If only we could say the same about his script. Read full review

Steven Rea

Around the Bend doesn't inspire one to care. Read full review

Peter Hartlaub

Stephen Hunter

Great direction, great performances, and great story. What else is there? Oh, yes, a great soundtrack! I purchased the soundtrack a half-hour after I watched the film.
