Critics' reviews

"There is a deep morality at work here, as often in Schrader's work. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"Harrelson digs deep for this portrait of shallowness."

Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter
"Even if this isn't Schrader's best, it's hardly his worst."

Leslie Felperin: Variety
"The story of an aging, self-hating homosexual (...) feels ancient as well as uncomfortable for the writer-director."

Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly
"'The Walker' is not a polished or coherent film. It's more like a work in progress. Casting Woody Harrelson was a tactical error from which the overall concept never recovers."

Rex Reed: The New York Observer
