Reviews

Screen International - Lee Marshall
Although it breaks no new ground, there’s heart, humour, charm and even a little healthy mischief in a film that re-imagines the rapprochement between the two former foes.

Variety - Owen Gleiberman
The Journey, thanks to its buddy-movie structure, is destined to feel a little corny, but the movie gets at something real. It’s a celebration, by two splendid actors, of the art of political theater.
70
Village Voice - Nick Schager
The film is buoyed by its sharp, witty lead performances, with Spall’s holier-than-thou imperiousness clashing suitably with Meaney’s more affable obstinacy.
63
Movie Nation - Roger Moore
The Journey‘s wonderful stars — Spall, Meaney, Highmore, a testy Stephens and of course Hurt — make this sentimental saunter go down easily.
60
Total Film - Neil Smith
Irish politics made accessible with the help of a playful script, two fine performances and 11 years of hindsight.
