The subtlety of how the story is told is beautifully done

I, for one, hope Freundlich gets another shot at a feature. And if he gets it, I hope he proves he knows what to do with it.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 19, 2003

The only reason for watching such a shallow and worn drama is because of Crudup's subtle performance.

| Original Score: C | Feb 12, 2003

Whatever complaints I might have, I'd take [its] earnest errors and hard-won rewards over the bombastic self-glorification of other feel-good fiascos like Antwone Fisher or The Emperor's Club any time.

The story ... is moldy and obvious.

With Freundlich and Crudup in the front seat, I found that once I could see the road, I was able to sit back and just enjoy the ride.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 8, 2002

Well-shot drama features great work from Billy Crudup and Julianne Moore -- and an infuriating script from director Bart Freundlich.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 7, 2002

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 18, 2002

A wonderful, quietly offbeat little drama... [with] a deep inward reflectiveness and... unyielding, non-judgmental nakedness.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 27, 2002

It's not going to be everyone's bag of popcorn, but it definitely gives you something to chew on.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 11, 2002

With no real redemption at the end of the road, it is nothing more than a beautiful, empty journey.

Were it not for a sentimental resolution that explains way more about Cal than does the movie or the character any good, Freundlich's World Traveler might have been one of the more daring and surprising American movies of the year.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 9, 2002

A journey that is as difficult for the audience to take as it is for the protagonist -- yet it's potentially just as rewarding.
