I was on an emotional roller coaster!!! When i watch a movie I don’t want to just watch it, I want to take it in, I want to have an experience, I want it to change me in some way. I want to feel happy, sad, inspired…. This was beautiful and profound in the most bittersweet way.

Despite the stamping of hundreds of feet, The Long Walk smolders with the blunt power of a burned flag.

Allegories are unavoidable. The walk is American capitalism. The walk is life itself. It requires, however, no such connections to enjoy the best King adaptations in many years.

No one should mistake The Long Walk for fun. But there’s satisfaction in its endurance, in the way grim inevitability drives the narrative with allegorical force. By the credits, you’ll feel as though you’ve marched every mile alongside the boys exhausted, shaken, and strangely, perhaps, wanting more.
