World Traveler

Entertainment Weekly by

Crudup is the best navigator a road movie like World Traveler can have, but even he can't single-handedly transport these goods from nowhere to somewhere.

Washington Post by Ann Hornaday

Anemic, pretentious.

Salon by Charles Taylor

It's hard to remember a movie that has asked us to care, without giving us reason to, about a character who is so thoroughly and relentlessly a prick.

Miami Herald by Connie Ogle

Crudup is about as effective as anyone could be in the dreary World Traveler, but he can't keep this shallow, pretentious film from wallowing in banality and staggering self-indulgence.

L.A. Weekly by Ernest Hardy

The gorgeous Crudup is talented, but this charming asshole (more asshole than charming) is old hat for him, little more than another of the blank-eyed-loser-on-a-spiritual-quest roles in which he's been trafficking lately.

Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern

A small story, a monodrama with a hero but no antagonists.

Variety by Lisa Nesselson

Although occasionally both overwritten and overly symbolic, tale carries a satisfying emotional charge.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

Freundlich's postmodern road movie contains several sharply observed scenes but doesn't really add up to much.

San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle

Dreary movie.
