Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
There's a contemplative loveliness to The Way, an affecting personal project both for Emilio Estevez, who wrote, directed, and plays a small role, and for his father, Martin Sheen.

Empire - Angie Errigo
Gentle, likable and profoundly touching, it makes you want to dig out the hiking boots and make the same journey.
75
Orlando Sentinel - Roger Moore
It's a plucky film that covers a lot of ground and uncovers this wonderful, ancient ritual that people of many faiths and from all walks of life take on.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
It's a sweet and sincere family pilgrimage, even if a little too long and obvious. Audiences seeking uplift will find it here.
67
The A.V. Club - Tasha Robinson
Essentially, The Way starts out as "Eat Pray Love" and takes a long, surprising trip toward becoming David Lynch's "The Straight Story." And that's a longer trip than a mere monthlong trek across Spain.
