Movie Reviews

The Oklahoman - 9/10 by Brandy McDonnellThe story is so heartbreakingly compelling, "Rudderless" sails beyond a sightseeing excursion and into great filmmaking.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by J. R. JonesThe story takes an even sharper left turn in the last half hour, raising emotional issues it can't adequately address.
Tolucan Times - 9/10 by Tony MedleyWilliam H. Macy's directorial debut is a smash!...interesting story, good music (performed by Billy Crudup and Anton Yelchin themselves), challenging and touching...
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Doris ToumarkineTwo solid talents - actor Billy Crudup and actor-turned-director William H. Macy - have both thrived in theatre and been frequently seen in indie films. They give Rudderless some heft and polish, but the material rings too familiar.
AV Club - 9/10 by Jesse HassengerRudderless accumulates puzzling details and goodwill in near-equal measure.
HitFix - 9/10 by Dan FienbergCrudup is as good as it gets when playing impaired, almost always making choices that are unexpected and manage to be funny without minimizing the depth of intoxication.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Richard RoeperRegardless of Crudup’s ranking as a box-office draw, he’s every inch the movie star in Rudderless, a rather strange but engrossing film with one of the more jarring twists of any film in recent memory.
Consequence of Sound - 9/10 by Justin GerberShock can lead to awe, but in the case of Rudderless, shock leads to "ahhh, they blew it."
The Playlist - 8/10 by Chase WhaleIt’s an ambitious and strong first start for Macy’s filmmaking career as he’s clearly taken a note or two from some of the great filmmakers he’s worked for. Don’t let the title of this film fool you—Rudderless is solid.
The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by John DeForeThough some plot elements are pushily therapeutic, they're offset by others whose novelty distinguishes Rudderless from movies of its sort.
