Movie Reviews

eFilmCritic.com - 8/10 by Rob GonsalvesIt is, among other things, a sharp distaff rejoinder to the male-centered, sour-faced "Nebraska."
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Robert AbeleThe script (by director Gary Lundgren with James Twyman) is modestly feel-good to a fault and the scenery expectedly beautiful, but it's the unforced acting providing the most nourishment.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 8/10 by Colin CovertThe mostly gentle drama has integrity without feeling caught up in its own nobility.
Oregonian - 7/10 by Marc MohanShirley Knight gives a winning lead performance, and the film captures the beauty of Southern Oregon landscapes.
NewsBlaze - 6/10 by Prairie MillerKnight shines in this contemplative, unrushed road movie on foot, with a rare, respectful focus on the existential despair of an older woman. And a solitary journey that is a female take on voyaging through those woods that are lovely, dark and deep.
Tribune News Service - 4/10 by Roger MooreNot without its charms, but do elderly filmgoers really need their entertainment this watered down?
User Review - 10/10 by M Jae SRedwood Highway is a charming movie about a woman of a certain age who is not ready for the sedate retirement her son has planned. The movie unfolds slowly and gracefully as we meander with Marie toward her future while unraveling her past. A pure delight.
User Review - 8/10 by Paul KAnother wee fable about being old - these are very appealing these days! Unlike 'The Great Beauty' watched recently, this is a low-key, largely straight narrative, focusing on the central character's inner process and outward journey. A pleasure to watch.
User Review - 8/10 by Christine WI really enjoyed this movie! Walking 80 miles is not something that I would ever consider doing but I could just see Jody doing this! :-)
User Review - 8/10 by Jeff NNoting the comments by the reviewers about the pacing of this little gem of a film, I might hazard a guess that they might do with a little less caffiene in their pre-movie viewing beverage. This movie does not move at 120 mph because it is about a 75 year-old-woman who walks 80 miles at 4 miles per hour, not the other way around. I am most grateful that we are given the opportunity to savor moments, rather than have to hope they can be re-viewed with a pause button. The choice of allowing the natural sounds of the environment these characters move through to be the majority of the soundtrack makes for far better story telling than a highly manufactured, intrusive songfest, hoping to be nominated for best song. This is a film about caring for some wonderful people instead of being afraid of them. Ms. Knight and the wonderful locals the director has gathered around her in this adventure hit a wonderful, low-key rhythm that allowed me to savor rather than drown. I will steal a saying: this is a movie that teaches that we are never too old to have an adventure. Redwood Highway probably won't be nominated for anything, come Oscar season. And that is high praise, indeed.
