The Long Walk Reviews
Accompanied by a spirit whose death he witnessed, an old man walks the roads from his home to the village. Once he learns the spirit can transport him back in time he decides to alter his past. I'm not sure I've ever viewed a film from Laos before. The story is bleak and hits the viewer emotionally. It is a slowly paced film but I was never bored. Very intelligent, elegant, and simple.
I watched this movie a week ago and can't get it out of my head. I don't fully understand it all. But, I know I love it. Definitely one that will take multiple viewings. Which I'm definitely up for. Wish there were more like it.
A haunting movie that has to be watched more than once to fully understand and appreciate.
The Long Walk is an epic experience that, despite taking place in the same bit of land, spans decades of pain and rage. It's a film that digs into your heart and chokes you with tears. It's a masterpiece in genre filmmaking.
Simple and complicated, dark and beautiful. I was mesmerized from start to finish. Imagine how much richer the film industry would be if we found actual talent like this in the world and enriched it (diverting funds from 50+ million dollar American atrocities). This competes with some of the best films I've seen in the last 5 years.
The Long Walk is a sensitive and intelligent film about a time-travelling serial killer who talks with ghosts, set in the near-future. Try and top that.
