A lovely and touching third act helps make up for a wobbly, at times convoluted first hour in the quirky fantasy-dramedy Walter. Read full review

Crisply directed but inescapably pious and, worse, narratively poky. Read full review

In touching lightly on themes without committing to any of them, the movie falls flat. What should be sweet is saccharine, what might be profound seems trite. Read full review

Much of Walter’s behavior resembles, at very least, a movie version of mental illness, only to have the story reclassify it as a coping mechanism. This unwittingly makes the character seem as affected as any Sundance stereotype—and the movie disturbing for all the wrong reasons. Read full review

Walter's self-conscious efforts at quirkiness...and cartoonishly drawn characters...try too hard while falling far short of their marks. Read full review

A bit of a slow start, odd & quirky. It takes its time to reveal its story. The film reveals a soulful, forgiving spirit in its characters. I could relate to the story, having gone through something similar as a young man. This is really about the redeeming power of grief.

Few times have i thought a movie would be crap and i was utterly surprised. Walter took it to another level. The movie deals with how bitterness and hate in one movie can decide the rest of our lives. And what happens when we finally decide to let go of that hate and bitterness.

Some decent acting helps to carry this at times convoluted and pedestrian, quirky little dramedy. Virgin Madsen is quite good here as a still grieving widow/mother with an obsession with eggs as is William H. Macy as a somewhat unprofessional therapist.
