World Traveler Reviews
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Anemic, pretentious.
Washington Post
Dan Via
Well-made, well-acted but ultimately enervating.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Yes, I suppose it's lovely that Cal works out his issues with his dad and comes to terms with his picture-perfect life -- but World Traveler gave me no reason to care, so I didn't.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
World Traveler, written and directed by Bart Freundlich, isn't going to be Crudup's breakthrough hit. But it does have a wonderful, fascinating performance by him.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
This episodic, quietly affecting movie is both gritty and poetic.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A dreary movie.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
One senses in World Traveler and in his earlier film that Freundlich bears a grievous but obscure complaint against fathers, and circles it obsessively, without making contact.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
A vignette enlarged to panoramic scale.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
The theme is familiar and, at bottom, sophomorically self-conscious. Yet finally, World Traveler takes something like a hold on you because it extends the Crudup character's experience not only across generations but also across the genders.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
It believes it's revealing some great human truths, when, in reality, it's churning ground that has long passed the point of being fertile.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
I was more personally affected by World Traveler than by any other film I have seen in recent months.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Crudup's screen presence is the one thing that holds interest in the midst of a mushy, existential exploration of why men leave their families.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
The setup feels a little been-there-done- that, but the writing is often piercing and there are unsparing characterizations by Julianne Moore and James LeGros.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
It's clotted with heavy-handed symbolism, dime-store psychology and endless scenic shots that make 105 minutes seem twice as long.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
A lot of good performances but no story.
Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
A meandering road movie that keeps getting stalled in gutters of self-importance.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
Tedious tale of middle-aged angst.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Best enjoyed as a minor work with some major pluses.
Entertainment Weekly
Crudup is the best navigator a road movie like World Traveler can have, but even he can't single-handedly transport these goods from nowhere to somewhere.
