There's certainly a profound and valuable documentary to be made about our eldest living senior citizens. Sadly, "Walter: Lessons From the World's Oldest People" isn't it. Go to Full Review Miriam Bale New York Times 10/03/2013

The filmmakers are constantly on camera, eating tacos or commenting on the interviews with insight like this: "She's just such a sweet lady. She smiles all of the time." Go to Full Review Inkoo Kang Village Voice 10/01/2013
[A] dim-witted and embarrassing first-person documentary ... Go to Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International 10/14/2013
The leisurely, intimate [Walter] could have been truly touching but misses the mark. Starting with its misleading title, the film never finds a core message beyond that good, clean living will allow you to live a long time. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/14/2014 AWFUL. VERY little time actually hearing from these elderly people. So much of the filmmakers own vacuous musings, their process of traveling to these elderly folks, and my goodness! Are were privy to every bit of food they shove into their mouths? This film was terrible disappointment. I was SO looking forward to hearing from these elderly people... instead, we're subjected to shaky home video of the filmmakers talking about themselves, about the making of the film, and eating, eating, eating - starting in their extremely messy apartment. I was very disappointed… and I had been looking forward so much to seeing this film. I took the title literally. My mistake. See more Read all reviews
