Critics' reviews

"A fun, geriatric version of Wild (...) 'A Walk in the Woods' serves as a terrific showcase for two exceptionally durable stars"

Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter
"It’s pleasant enough cinematic comfort food, but even so, you may be hungry again soon afterward."

Dennis Harvey: Variety
"It is unexpectedly moving and occasionally delightful to spend time with these titans of cinema (...) delivering words that become meaningful because they're lucky enough to be spoken by Mr. Redford and Mr. Nolte."

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"The finished product isn't a great movie. But every good actor, and that actor's most loyal fans, deserve their Walk in the Woods"

Peter Hartlaub: SFGATE
"A middling sitcom. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"

Richard Roeper: Chicago Sun-Times
"A slack travel yarn (...) The screenplay from Rick Kerb and Bill Holderman favours jokey, episodic bits that rarely seem inspired"

Tim Grierson: Village Voice
