... a placid, almost pleasant film, so reluctant to offend that it fails to engage.

Newsweek
Weir gives the film an epic scope, framing his characters against giant, imposing vistas that highlight how inconsequential they appear against the vastness of nature.
A.V. Club

Newsday
There are some meticulous performances among the weary plodders...Jim Sturgess embodies monomaniacal focus as the group's leader Janusz...
Sight and Sound
THE WAY BACK demands to be seen on the largest possible screen, the better to experience the way it visualizes an essential motivating tension between the small-scale intimacy and drama of its characters and the vast enormity of its landscapes.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/5 --
It's about the landscapes and backdrops. They provide a great diversion away from the poor dialogue and the bluntly heroic characters.

[T]here's cumulative power in the tale, part prison break and part survival epic....Russell Boyd did the spectacular cinematography.
