Leave your thoughts about Craigslist Joe.
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA stunt-documentary whose conceit overlaps with the finding-yourself appeal of a road movie, Joseph Garner's Craigslist Joe is humbly charming. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonA generally agreeable but perhaps hopelessly meandering nonfiction snapshot of one guy's attempt to hit the road for 31 days and live off the alms of America's new, digital age thrift store. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyHe's a nondescript protagonist, his benefactors, and he's never truly in need; as is made clear at the start, he has a comfortable life to return to whenever he chooses. So the picture becomes simply the moderately diverting record of an offbeat vacation. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe documentary Craigslist Joe fulfills its unique premise - without providing much in the way of stakes, obstacles, tension or, frankly, greater meaning. |
| Village VoiceErnest HardyDirected by Garner, Craigslist Joe is sweet, moving, and frustrating. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasCraigslist Joe takes Garner on a 21st-century hitchhiking trip that not only didn't end in his gruesome murder, but in a month to remember fondly. It's an inspiring experience. For him. |
| Slant MagazineDiego SemereneAs hard as he tries, we never truly believe there's a lot at stake for Garner, who seems to cruise through America like a gringo taking a favela tour in Rio. |
| User ReviewEthan HIt's an extremely interesting documentary about one man's journey from West coast to East coast. Everything he did was via Craigslist ads. |
| User ReviewAlex POne of the best documentaries I have ever seen |
| User ReviewNels WI absolutely loved this documentary. For me it was very inspiring and it really gives you hope for humanity. When there's so much bad out there it's nice to see so many good people |
