3/5
Though 500 Miles tries too hard to wring tears from your eyes, knockout performances by the film’s two young actors sustain this emotional and surprising road trip. Go to Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies Jun 26
2/5
It’s a well-meaning film about trauma and grief, but its sledgehammer approach quashes any subtlety and originality, leaving you with a work that feels calculated in its teeth-itching niceness. Go to Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) Jun 26
I just think it's got a tonal shift it doesn't know how to manage and doesn't. Go to Full Review Belen Prieto Espinof Jul 9
4/5
