Critics consensus

“The Way Back 's occasionally frustrating treatment of a formulaic story is often outweighed by Ben Affleck's outstanding work in the central role.”

Affleck carries the movie both in his muscles and in his subtle shifts of expression.

RTThe AtlanticFeb 3, 2021

The Way Back features the rawest and most natural performance Affleck has given in his career.

RTThe RingerFeb 3, 2021

The bristly, embittered drunk is a borderline melodramatic cliché, but Affleck imbues it with a lived-in intelligence...

This movie is incredibly visceral. It's real, it tears away at your heart...I couldn't take my eyes away [from the screen].
