Consequence of Sound -
Patient, meditative, and sanguine, Adopt a Highway is a rugged slice of Americana.

Los Angeles Times -
Adopt a Highway is a small film but mighty, thanks to Hawke’s reserved yet touching performance as a broken man learning to test his wings again, and Marshall-Green’s willingness to take Russell down unexpected paths.

The New York Times -
Like a spare short story, this little indie nurtures a few simple emotions, then hopes its audience will stick around to share in them. I’m glad I did.

We Got This Covered -
Adopt A Highway seems as confused as its lead character, wandering around and never quite figuring out what story it wants to tell.

IndieWire -
Marshall-Green is just finding his way, and his debut is very much a first film. ... Modest and unfussy, “Adopt a Highway” fails to ground its fable-esque qualities in a deeper bedrock of emotional truth, but its best moments offer a tender glimpse at what people do with several decades of pent-up resentment.
