Driveways Reviews
Driveways is both a fitting farewell to Brian Dennehy and an uplifting message for people everywhere, a film all should see and all can appreciate.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 11, 2024
Driveways could have easily gone the route of Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino or Pixar’s Up, and thankfully it never does.

This is independent filmmaking at its finest.

Like the light dew that kisses the lawns and homes of its protagonists in the early morning light, [Driveways] will dissipate from your memory in a matter of minutes.

A heart-warming and much-needed story that shows the power of friendship and features some very strong and noteworthy performances.
| Original Score: 8/10 | May 5, 2021
I loved every moment of Driveways, a bit of a rarity these days.

A great little film. [Full review in Spanish]

There is nothing flashy about Driveways, and that's why it works so well. It has a small, heartfelt story filled with winning characters that is as effective as any other movie at delivering big emotion.

You'd have to have a heart of stone to not want to reach out and hold hands with the characters by the end.
| Original Score: B | Feb 7, 2021
The movie acknowledges both Dennehy's extraordinary physical presence, and that time even breaks down someone like him.

Driveways isn't simply one of the late Brian Dennehy's final performances-it's also one of his finest.

Although the languid pace won't serve every viewer's motivation, Ahn manages to give the story a nice simple touch and warm coloration.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 14, 2021
One of Dennehy's best performances in one of his best movies.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 30, 2020
For one of his last films, Brian Dennehy has a small gem here.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 18, 2020
[This] gentle and sweetly endearing...tale of a lonely eight-year-old boy who befriends the elderly Korean War vet next door is defiantly positive; a big wet kiss on the lips of a world that normalizes cynicism and celebrates conflict.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 24, 2020
In times of cultural crisis, narratives like this remind us that change often happens locally, through the people we get to know, and learn to love, right next door.

Quite a feat for an 83-minute character study that, I assure you, is small only in size...
| Jun 23, 2020
What resonates is the movie's understanding of how we come and go through life, of how a house becomes a home, of how even the smallest acts of kindness can open doors that never quite close.
| Jun 5, 2020
"Driveways" is a sweet, funny and genuinely moving tale that features Dennehy at his subtle best.

The three lead actors carry the movie and do the heavy dramatic lifting gracefully; their sheer presence reaches far beyond the confines of the story.
