Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 03/12/2015
A lovely and touching third act helps make up for a wobbly, at times convoluted first hour in the quirky fantasy-dramedy "Walter." Go to Full Review

What a strange little indie film this is. Go to Full Review
Daniel M. Gold New York Times 03/12/2015
The narrative is effectively constructed and the cinematography is crisp. Even so, in touching lightly on themes without committing to any of them, the movie falls flat. Go to Full Review

I found it too much of a reach to go with this absurd conceit and was immediately turned off. Go to Full Review

Walter isn't quite like anything you've seen before. Shot partly in Indianapolis on a shoestring budget, this quirky comedy is one of the best films out right now. Go to Full Review

4/5
The slow compromise of this perfect world, and Walter's increasingly messy interactions with other human beings (Madsen and William H. Macy are especially good), provide both laughs and heart. Go to Full Review

bryan b @heybryan 11/28/2021 I thought this was the transition between young Sheldon and the big bang theory. See more 02/05/2020 An innovative look into the mental health of a teenager, with a good story and good acting. See more 03/22/2018 Tightly written, well acted. Not your average Hollywood film. See more 05/17/2017 Quirky and interesting. See more 01/13/2017 Bad even for an indie film. The whole concept is dumb. I wouldn't call it a comedy. There is nothing remotely funny here. (First and only viewing - 1/14/2017) See more 04/17/2016 Rather slow-moving at times, but ultimately, a sweet and touching film. See more Read all reviews
