Leave your thoughts about Walter: Lessons from the World's Oldest People.
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderThe leisurely, intimate [Walter] could have been truly touching but misses the mark. Starting with its misleading title, the film never finds a core message beyond that good, clean living will allow you to live a long time. |
| New York TimesMiriam BaleThe documentary is not really about these older people but about this couple. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThere certainly are moving moments in this inspiring if necessarily somewhat morbid travelogue... but they’re buried in the sloppiness and self-indulgence that too often marks this vanity project. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThere's certainly a profound and valuable documentary to be made about our eldest living senior citizens. Sadly, Walter: Lessons From the World's Oldest People isn't it. |
| Village VoiceInkoo KangThough the filmmakers undoubtedly had good intentions, their ultimate point—that a long life is the result of moral rectitude—is offensive and imbecilic. |
| User ReviewAlice Clearman FAWFUL. VERY little time actually hearing from these elderly people. So much of the filmmakers own vacuous musings, their process of traveling to these elderly folks, and my goodness! Are were privy to every bit of food they shove into their mouths? This film was terrible disappointment. I was SO looking forward to hearing from these elderly people... instead, we're subjected to shaky home video of the filmmakers talking about themselves, about the making of the film, and eating, eating, eating - starting in their extremely messy apartment. I was very disappointed? and I had been looking forward so much to seeing this film. I took the title literally. My mistake. |
