Time Out
Co-writers, co-directors and brothers Alex and Andrew J. Smith—who outdo The Revenant for sincerity, depth and gorgeousness—mount their tale with enough confidence to cut away from the action. - 90

It’s a beautiful movie about unthinkable things. - 85
TheWrap
It’s a brutal, blood-drenched story, but also a captivating and poignant generational saga that will stay with the viewer long afterward. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
As the script and performances dive inward, exploring David's ability to endure while sending Cal into memories of hunting trips with his own father (Bill Pullman), the movie uses Todd McMullen's fine scenic photography to show how stranded they are. - 80
Variety
Its unabashedly folky, less-is-more approach proves quietly moving. - 75

The movie would fit nicely in a film festival comprised of works with a similar theme, including "Legends of the Fall" and "The Revenant" and older wilderness dramas like "Jeremiah Johnson" and "Bend of the River." - 75
Rolling Stone
If their contribution to the man-vs-nature genre isn't exactly top-tier, Walking Out still hits its marks in terms of father-son melodrama with an uncanny precision. - 70
The New York Times
Even when its plot starts to sag, Walking Out remains beautiful to watch.
