The Walk Ratings & Reviews
Charles London
February 15, 2025
This is the amazing true story of a man attempting to pull off an insanely crazy feat on multiple levels, not the least of which is the breathtaking titular walk. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is well cast as Phillipe Petit, a man with a dream that has to be seen to be believed.
The New York Review of Books
J. Hoberman
The stunt is worth the wait. In a sense it's something we've been waiting for since September 12, 2001.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
Just the mechanics of getting to the roof are fun -- filled with surprise allies and strokes of luck and last minute escapes.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
It's applause-worthy work, and a killer climax. But a killer climax does not a motion picture make.
Nashville Scene
Bilge Ebiri
There's something charming about the use of all this technology to depict what was, ultimately, a minor event.
BuzzFeed News
Alison Willmore
The Walk turns what is a relatively straightforward act - albeit a scarily placed one - into something stunning by restoring a sense of physicality to what's happening onscreen.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Zemeckis's failing is his inattention to every other detail, but The Walk undeniably exists for its climax: one stunt it does manage to pull off flawlessly.

Leonard Maltin
A fantasy-like tale of a real-life adventure...
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The walk itself is the film's central, and only, real achievement, but it's a doozy.
Paste Magazine
Nick Schager
Channeling the spirit of its subject, The Walk assumes a clownish attitude until, during its finale, it switches gears to become a solemn, striking tribute to human ingenuity, ambition and daring.
The New Republic
Elaine Teng
Even in its greatest moment, The Walk breaks the spell with an unnecessary narration about how Petit felt in that moment, how the sky looked to him, how a bird came soaring towards his head.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
As it comes together, the film becomes just as much a tribute to those massive Towers as it is to Petit.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The last half hour or so of the film is breathtaking and well worth the price of admission in IMAX 3D.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
I was simply exhausted by Zemeckis' oppressive insistence that I was being told a valuable, thrilling and humorous story, and was having a good time.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Then we're finally aloft, with the man on his wire, and Mr. Zemeckis and his colleagues lift their groundbound production into the realm of high art.
Christianity Today
Alissa Wilkinson
The film seems more than a little insecure, unwilling to let you feel its awesomeness -- it shouldn't have been -- and resorting to telling you, over and over, that this is a very inspirational story and you should be inspired by it.
NPR
Scott Tobias
Zemeckis throws all of the emphasis on the walk itself, which minimizes the film's annoyances and justifies the groundwork necessary for the big payoff.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This delivers some frighteningly vertiginous moments once Petit steps off the South Tower into empty space, and Zemeckis wisely milks the climactic wire walk, which lasted 45 minutes and drew a crowd of breathless onlookers below, for all it's worth.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The last 30 minutes or so are all about the walk. Dariusz Wolski's cinematography is beautiful... and Gordon-Levitt does some of his best acting when he's out on the wire and mostly silent, his face glowing from the sheer crazy joy he's feeling.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
These dizzying IMAX 3-D visuals truly are big-screen magic, taking us inside Petit's transcendent experience as he navigates his preternatural path, indulges his showman's flair, and - agh! - reclines to commune with the heavens.
