"Adopt a Highway fails to ground its fable-esque qualities in a deeper bedrock of emotional truth, but its best moments offer a tender glimpse at what people do with several decades of pent-up resentment."

IndieWire

"One of those baffling cases in which a project somehow made it to completion without anyone daring to mention that the script barely qualified as a narrative outline, let alone as camera-ready."

—

Variety

"In an ensemble cast of small roles where his character is the only one with a film-length arc, Hawke's performance quite literally carries the movie."
