World Traveler is a powerful and poignant illustration of this harrowing process.

A pretty but empty portrait of a vacuous character...the picture doesnt get very far or go very deep.

It believes its revealing some great human truths, when, in reality, its churning ground that has long passed the point of being fertile.

Cal is an unpleasantly shallow and immature character with whom to spend 110 claustrophobic minutes.

If he doesnt learn something about life, and soon, hes going to self destruct.

At its worst the screenplay is callow, but at its best it is a young artists thoughtful consideration of fatherhood.

Not only does Freundlich give us little reason to care about his story, it doesnt even give us much motivation to stay awake.

God bless Crudup and his aversion to taking the easy Hollywood road and cashing in on his movie star gorgeousness.
3.5
With Freundlich and Crudup in the front seat, I found that once I could see the road, I was able to sit back and just enjoy the ride.

A poky and pseudo serious exercise in sham actor workshops and an affected malaise.

World Traveler might not go anywhere new, or arrive anyplace special, but its certainly an honest attempt to get at something.

The only reason for watching such a shallow and worn drama is because of Crudups subtle performance.
Dennis Schwartz Reviews

A journey that is as difficult for the audience to take as it is for the protagonist yet its potentially just as rewarding.

Movie Martyr

Well shot drama features great work from Billy Crudup and Julianne Moore and an infuriating script from director Bart Freundlich.

I, for one, hope Freundlich gets another shot at a feature. And if he gets it, I hope he proves he knows what to do with it.

2.0
But buying into sham truths and routine indie filmmaking, Freundlich has made just another safe movie. Its not horrible, just horribly mediocre.

Its not going to be everyones bag of popcorn, but it definitely gives you something to chew on.

A wonderful, quietly offbeat little drama... a deep inward reflectiveness and... unyielding, non judgmental nakedness.

Somewhere inside the mess that is World Traveler, there is a mediocre movie trying to get out.
