Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter 05/15/2014
While this road movie may not have great originality or huge box-office potential, it's a low-key charmer with a large-souled performance at its center. Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 05/09/2014
The 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. Go to Full Review Bill Edelstein Variety 04/15/2014
Solid acting overcomes a lack of dynamic tension in this family-friendly film. Go to Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault 07/14/2015

It is, among other things, a sharp distaff rejoinder to the male-centered, sour-faced "Nebraska." Go to Full Review Mark R. Leeper Mark Leeper's Reviews 06/30/2014

Edna T @RT42240558 Feb 14 Acting wasn't bad. Movie was slow. I played most on ff. Scenery was nice. Marie was a good irritable old lady. But too irritable for me. Wish they made me like her more so I could be on board with her goal. Best memorable thing was scenery. See more 02/28/2019 This movie should be renamed grandma needs a bath See more 02/03/2019 Wonderful movie. No pretentious or "gorgeous" actors. And better yet, no hugely famous actors. Real story line, great acting. Heartwarming, interesting to watch, beautiful nature scenes. This is film making! See more 07/03/2016 a slow n gentle adult movie i enjoyed very much-nice 2c tom skerritt in a film too. See more 02/23/2016 Another 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. See more 08/11/2015 Very vanilla, made for TV movie. Not the end of the world, I've seen worse... See more Read all reviews
