Review of The Way (2010) by Matthew S — 29 Jun 2012
A father sets out to mourn and honor his dead son, attempting to make peace with their troubled relationship by walking in his footsteps. The writing doesn't go very far with the internal journey the father must take, which is disappointing.
Instead, it fills the movie with contrived characters and scenarios - it's almost a Wizard of Oz story, where each traveler who joins him is missing an essence of themselves and they think they will be fixed by the end of the pilgrimage.
But these tag-a-long characters were too fabricated to be emotionally engaging.
