Movie Reviews

The Film Stage - 8/10 by Jordan RaupDespite actors who are clearly committed to the material, The Free World is an unfortunate misfire of banality.
Film School Rejects - 7/10 by Tomris LafflyLew offers up enough soft pleasures in this blend of existential drama and lovers-on-the-run thriller, letting us dwell on modest hopes and dreams, worthy of his seemingly minor story with a large emotional scope.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by David RooneyThe uneven drama remains reasonably engrossing thanks to affecting performances from Boyd Holbrook and Elisabeth Moss.
Consequence of Sound - 6/10 by Justin GerberAnimal shelter/prison facility parallels become too heavy-handed, and performances packed with emotion give way to on-the-lam clichés.
Examiner.com - 6/10 by Travis HopsonWhat begins as a quiet, character-driven story of one man trying to break free from the shackles of his past flips the switch into gritty, down 'n dirty action thriller
The Playlist - 6/10 by Katie WalshWhile there are some missteps in the story, there’s a lot to admire in The Free World, particularly in what is sure to be a breakout role for Holbrook.
New York Times - 6/10 by Stephen HoldenThe heavy-handed man-beast comparison is one of several grossly overstated themes in a movie that abruptly changes direction as it goes along while taking shortcuts that leave its characters underdeveloped and crucial plot elements barely fleshed out.
San Diego Reader - 6/10 by Matthew LickonaWhile the religious stuff is clearly set forth, it's easy to overlook, given the abundant humanity radiated by the leads, the hothouse atmosphere of the murder investigation that threatens them, and the explosion of violence that forces the issue.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Michael RechtshaffenAn initially compelling but uneven drama elevated by two centered performances.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Abbey BenderJason Lew's lost-soul drama The Free World offers a modest exploration of innocence and guilt, with occasional interludes of both violence and romance
