Walking to Werner Ratings & Reviews
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
By the end of Walking to Werner, we are no worse off but we are not much better either.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
[Subject] Phillips is a lot better at walking than talking, and his musings seem especially insipid intercut with audio clips of Herzog's sage observations.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The real interest in the film is not the journey or even Linas Phillips, but the people he meets on the way.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Even the most ardent Herzog admirer may want to hail this fledgling documentarian a cab and call it a day.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Despite the callow, self-absorbed aspects of Phillips' undertaking, there's something endearing about his determination to recreate -- and then some -- a 30-year-old gesture that looked nutty then and only looks nuttier now.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
It's an impressive odyssey, but the film -- which alternates between Phillips' ceaseless ramblings and interviews with the predictably eccentric folks he meets on the road -- plays like a prolonged death march.
Village Voice
Ed Gonzalez
Phillips's trip begins as an attention-grabbing show of devotion but transforms into a many-sided experiment in empathy.
Variety
Eddie Cockrell
The high-strung antics of Linas Phillips, who films his hike from Seattle to Los Angeles to meet Werner Herzog, may strike some as a noble spiritual undertaking, but others will find it an exercise in indulgent self-absorption.
New York Times
Matt Zoller Seitz
The documentary Walking to Werner is a deeply self-reflexive work, perpetually at risk of disappearing into its own iris.
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
Phillips's singular determination is not unlike that of the artist he aspires to meet.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
Walking to Werner flirts with becoming an ordeal.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Paula Nechak
It's the closest thing to a cinematic religious experience I can think of -- all combined with Phillips' terrific sense of visual style, humor and willingness to risk life for art.
