GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Jithin K Mohan From the first scene itself, the film feels like its trying too hard to be something. It's trying to be inspirational, meaningful and deep but ends up lacking everything. The dialogues are horrible although you feel the heart put behind it that you can't hate it. It's so shallow in reiterating the same structure of sequences again and again albeit with a sweetness.

paul-craig-meyer-50 Having been inspired enough to do this amazing walk myself, it's still special to watch this film again and again!! Martin Sheen, Emilio Estevez and the whole rest of the cast and crew did an amazing job capturing the essence of what it is to walk the Camino DE Santiago. It's funny because I did the trip with my mom a year and a half ago, and the November right before we embarked on the Camino I saw this movie briefly, not all of it but enough to convince me to say "what the hell" and walk 500 miles!!! When you are able to watch this film with the ability to see places in this film they walked in filming the movie but to have walked there yourself is pretty damn special!!! Hats off to this awesome cinematic experience that transcends to the depths of sympathy, empathy and just getting to the point of perceptiveness of seeing we are all human despite our differences and flaws.

Phoebe Wow, what is there really to say about this movie? It had so many aspects to it that just really made it a good movie overall. Character development, check. A lovable cast, check. Memorable quotes, check. "You don't choose a life, you live it." is probably one of the most memorable quotes from the entire movie and the under lying message of the movie itself. The story of a pilgrimage taken by several people leading to the same destination for different purposes.The story moves in such a way that the audience is able to connect and feel the depth of each individual character. There are no shallow characters in this movie, that is for sure - even the characters that only appear for several minutes have a certain interest to them. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for something interesting with depth.The reason this movie develops so well is because the journey is almost like a time-line. Each section of the road is like a doorway to more character develop. As the characters develop they slowly become more connected to the audience because it's like we're being taken on a journey with them. The cinematography is also another thing that adds to the overall greatness of the film. The country side is extremely beautiful and far shots really fill you with the same sense of wonder that the characters must of felt. So I'll say it once again, I strongly do recommend this film.

sol- Upon learning that his estranged son died while attempting a pilgrimage in Spain, an American doctor decides to finish the pilgrimage himself, scattering his son's ashes along the way, in this drama written and directed by Emilio Estevez and starring his own father, Martin Sheen. As one might expect, Sheen is excellent in the lead role and offers a heartfelt speech when drunk, but the overall film is not as solid as his performance. Rather than let Sheen complete the journey facing any obstacles that come his way on his own a la Reese Witherspoon in 'Wild', Estevez saddles Sheen with a trio of fellow pilgrims, each of whom have their own (less enticing) reasons for making the journey. The film also tends to insert quirks (they encounter zany innkeeper at one point) as opposed to hurdles (like fatigue, shelter or hunger) to overcome, which in turn gives the film a strangely lighthearted tone. In terms of tone though, the film is most significantly marred by a constantly air of sentimentality. All the scenes in which Sheen converses with the ghost of his son are too maudlin to really click and the blaring song soundtrack is full of tunes so cloying that the grueling grittiness of making the trek never once comes through. As mentioned though, Sheen is very good and of his three companions, James Nesbitt is at least lively as an author suffering writer's block who gets inspiration from Sheen's journey.
