Adopt a Highway Ratings & Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
"Adopt a Highway" is a warm, compassionate film in which Ethan Hawke spends much of his time talking honestly to a baby. Something about that offers a few rays of hope for cinema.
Hollywood News
Joey Magidson
What a beautiful little surprise "Adopt a Highway" turns out to be. This Ethan Hawke star vehicle is tender, touching, and altogether a moving experience.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... steers a potentially provocative idea in predictable directions, which tends to diminish the emotional impact.
Film Threat
Bobby LePire
[Adopt a Highway] demonstrates an acute awareness of emotional honesty.
San Antonio Current
Kiko Martinez
Actor-turned-first-time-writer and director Logan Marshall-Green gives his debut film an indie-inspired vibe that could transform into something special one day, but as it is now, Adopt a Highway is only a draft of a draft of an idea.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
[Ethan Hawke] does the best he can with a character that is not terribly well-developed.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Lael Loewenstein
Hawke does an excellent job carrying it off. It could have been a stronger film, but I thought he was excellent.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
Holding it all together is Hawke's performance, weighted down with the heaviness of injustice.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
With its avid belief in the fundamental goodness of people, Adopt a Highway is a minor but deeply moving film.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
There are elements of the picture to celebrate as it launches Marshall-Green's career behind the camera, where he clearly has the best interests of his actors at heart.
New York Times
Ken Jaworowski
Like a spare short story, this little indie nurtures a few simple emotions, then hopes its audience will stick around to share in them. I'm glad I did.
Film Inquiry
Aaron Berry
Whatever the factor is, the potential lingers over Adopt A Highway like a dark cloud, ready to pour some nuance onto what becomes a rather muddled first effort.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Viewed charitably, its sketchy protagonist and vague atmosphere are meant to achieve the effect of a parable.
Slashfilm
Matt Donato
Adopt A Highway is as naked, vulnerable, and warmly fulfilling a directorial debut as you can ask for.
Fresh Fiction
Preston Barta
By simply opening up the complicated soul of an individual and holding up a mirror to society, we get an emotionally resonant and lyrical tale delivered in the most compassionate of tones.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It's an odd film, but it greatly rewards viewer patience, culminating in the only scenes at my SXSW so far that brought tears to my eyes.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
One of those baffling cases in which a project somehow made it to completion without anyone daring to mention that the script barely qualified as a narrative outline, let alone as camera-ready.
The Hollywood Reporter
Beandrea July
In an ensemble cast of small roles where his character is the only one with a film-length arc, Hawke's performance quite literally carries the movie.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Adopt a Highway fails to ground its fable-esque qualities in a deeper bedrock of emotional truth, but its best moments offer a tender glimpse at what people do with several decades of pent-up resentment.
TheWrap
Candice Frederick
Though Hawke's engrossing performance and composer Jason Isbell's ("A Star Is Born") serene score are worth a watch, "Adopt a Highway" comes off as flat as it is earnest.
