1.5/4
An overly familiar story of fathers and sons, of cycles of abandonment and years of pent-up resentments, without any fresh insight. Go to Full Review Clement Tyler Obropta Film Inquiry 05/14/2021
Wright's film is remarkably poignant. It's a nice, warm salve of a movie, a charming indie gem about the things in life you can't run away from and the giants you have to topple to become your own person. Go to Full Review Hunter Lanier Film Threat 05/27/2020
2/10
I like to imagine that throughout the process of making any movie, everyone involved is fully convinced they're making a good movie. But with Walkaway Joe, I can't imagine that's possible. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 05/09/2020
... a well-intentioned glimpse into both the fragility and necessity of father-son relationships that's ultimately more predictable than profound. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Chad P @RT18251092 Jun 21 Only positive was the acting performance by Strathairn. Otherwise a pretty predictable and dull movie. I thought they could at least make the pool playing scenes a little bit more interesting. See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic 03/10/2023 A movie that is about the trials of the relationships between fathers and sons that left me wanting more at the end of the day. See more 05/23/2020 This is a very heartwarming and must see movie. It's so realistic and genuine that you feel like you're watching a real life story of a strained relationship between father and son. If you want a heartfelt story, this is definitely the movie for you. See more Brian S @Madmartigan 05/11/2020 Worth a watch, but barely. Simple. Brushes along and needed another 30 minutes of run time to develop the characters and relationships. See more 05/10/2020 Wife and I really enjoyed this movie. Big fans of JDM and David Strathairn and a pool movie to boot! Quick, enjoyable watch on a Saturday Night. See more 05/10/2020 Best movie I have seen in awhile, very few can pull off the ending and some of the lines without seeming corny. See more Read all reviews
