Adopt a Highway Reviews

Movie Reviews

• the end result is, unfortunately, something a little flat, unremarkable and it's only Ethan Hawke's terrifically empathetic performance that makes this long and listless journey feel like it's a road worth taking

  Review rate : C+ by Griffin Schiller [The Playlist ]

• Logan Marshall-Green's directorial debut is an intriguing story centered on a flawed protagonist; though Ethan Hawke's engrossing performance and composer Jason Isbell's serene score are worth a watch, "Adopt a Highway" comes off as flat as it is earnest

  by Candice Frederick [The Wrap ]

• it will simultaneously warm & shatter your heart; a heartfelt depiction of resilience & a portrait of a broken man on the road to redemption, Adopt A Highway possesses an emotional gravity so palpable that audiences will be able to connect with the film

  by Marisa Mirabal [Birth.Movies.Death. ]

• despite the film's choppy and tonally dissonant storytelling; in an ensemble cast of small roles where his character is the only one with a film-length arc, Ethan Hawke's performance quite literally carries the movie

  by Beandrea July [The Hollywood Reporter ]

• "Adopt A Highway" is as naked, vulnerable, and warmly fulfilling a debut as you can ask for; Ethan Hawke's performance is equal parts tragic and triumphant; Marshall-Green's breakout feature...is patient, forgiving, and effortlessly feel-good

  by Matt Donato [Slash Film ]

• "Adopt a Highway" is a gentle drama that's often as clumsy and meandering as its title; it fails to ground its fable-esque qualities in a deeper bedrock of emotional truth...
