- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: Despite all the death and tragedy littered throughout, we come out of it with a sense of hope. Hope that whatever comes our way, we will be able to face it together.
- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: The Long Walk gives us a dystopian world that did make the viewers care about the characters’ plight. While not without some issues, The Long Walk mostly works.
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: A devastating gloss on war, actual and economic and political, of sending young men with their whole lives before them into a meat grinder where fairness and decency have no purchase. Where the ultimate battle is to keep your soul.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The story itself isn’t anything new and most will predict exactly where it’s heading, but an extraordinary ensemble invests us in characters coming to grips with a dark fate.
- Scott Davis @ Sci-Fi Now
- Excerpt: Director Francis Lawrence, best known for his work on high-concept blockbusters like Constantine and The Hunger Games, pivots slightly into something more restrained and emotionally potent with The Long Walk, a quietly devastating yet uplifting film that will linger in your mind long after you leave the darkness of the cinema
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A depressing trudge through one cliché after another. By the end, I wasn’t rooting for the boys to survive; I was rooting for the credits to roll.

- Excerpt: This Stephen King adaptation is sadistic and glorious.
- [new] | Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Sometimes it’s nice to just let the mythology behind a dystopia serve as a backdrop for a tale of brotherly love that reminds us empathy and camaraderie are the truest form of rebellion against an authoritarian regime.
- Jacob Oller @ The A.V. Club
- Excerpt: As bloody and upsetting as King’s fable can get, at its heart, it’s a 100-minute walk-and-talk between some of the best young actors out there, shooting the shit and trying to stay sane while trudging through a trenchant metaphor.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- Excerpt: No stranger to dystopian fiction, Francis Lawrence directs The Long Walk, an adaption of one of Stephen King’s first novels. Stars Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Charlie Plummer, and Mark Hamill.
- Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews
- Excerpt: It’s another successful King novel whose screen adaptation is not as good as the book.
- Josh Thayer @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: The flaws in the original story and some baffling new choices by the filmmakers cause The Long Walk to be uneven, but not without its charms.
