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.

Beautifully photographed and containing solid performances by relatively unknown actors, Walking Out works like a stripped-down, more relatable and grounded Revenant and it is light years better than the abysmally overrated and contrived Winder River. While it doesn't exactly re-invent the wheel in regards to filmmaking, it holds enough excitement and emotional nostalgia to keep the viewer engaged.

So deeply rooted in metaphor and allegory that it might as well be called “father!,” Alex and Andrew Smith’s Walking Out is a strong coming-of-age adventure that buries its vaguely biblical underpinnings beneath the heavy snows of a Jack London epic.

The scenery is startling and the cinematography by Todd McMullen striking.

A reasonably engaging survival drama but slow and a bit pretentious. Acting is fine.

Walking Out is a very unremarkable film and while certainly not bad has the feel of a made for TV movie. Bill Pullman, one of my favorite actors has just a cameo role which was disappointing.
