Ride the Eagle Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
A film that will only spark curiosity because of the circumstances surrounding its existence rather than anything about the story itself.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Ride the Eagle knows that a small, sad, personal story doesn't have to be a tragedy. If it was a trail, it would be marked on the map as "intermediate," but the view at the end is definitely worth the walk.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Seldom face to face, the characters still connect in the sweet comedy about a man whose inheritance comes with conditions.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
"Eagle" might be modest and simple but it's also rewarding, a gentle comedy-drama about letting go and growing up.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Peter Rainer
It's a pretty good, genial, offbeat movie.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Good intentions aside, this sluggish film never soars beyond its innate contrivances and frequently flat, knee-jerk humor.
Variety
Joe Leydon
"Ride the Eagle" likely will be most warmly embraced by viewers who have experienced profoundly mixed emotions when hearing about the death of a loved one who frequently was extremely difficult to love.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
"Where do these people get their money," I wrote in my notes...
Battleship Pretension
Tyler Smith
A great cast, an unforced tone, and beautiful mountain photography combine to create a film that is unapologetically pleasant.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
Ride the Eagle is about small, incremental adjustments that accumulate and eventually turn into something more substantial. As a result, this story is worth exploring.
Midwest Film Journal
Evan Dossey
Pleasant, thoughtful work with a great cast.
Reel Honest Reviews
Pamela Powell
Trent O'Donnell directs this gem of a feature co-written by he and Johnson and while the narrative arc may be a predictable one, it's truly a pleasure to watch.
Film Threat
Alex Saveliev
Ride the Eagle may not be perfect, but it's balm to the soul, especially if you've recently lost a parent. It's kind and sensitive but never pandering.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Doesn't soar to great comedic heights, but it's an easygoing dramedy about reconnecting that's especially timely in the era of COVID.
The Hollywood Outsider
Aaron Peterson
Ride the Eagle is a laid-back comedy full of heart, breathtaking scenery, and wonderful performances across the board.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Although it traverses a familiar path of forgiveness and reconciliation, this bittersweet comedy finds enough quirky charm to avoid becoming lost in the woods.
Common Sense Media
Monique Jones
A so-so dramedy about loss...
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Too undercooked, contrived and shallow to make an emotional impact or to be inspirational.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Johnson and O'Donnell want to make something approachable and funny, but also deal with the nuances of the human experience, touching on repairable relationships and hope.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
It's certainly been done worse, but it's been done a whole lot better, also.
