While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Blistering performances.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Full disclosure, I had no expectations when watching this film and had a sick day from work and decided why not? Will I remember this movie a month from now? Probably not but it was entertaining enough. I think the plot has been done a couple too many times where an athlete falls on hard times and then needs help finding his way. This is a spoiler but I didn't like that he was one minute madly "move to Montana" in love with Ellie and then after he transfers schools within a matter of months he is making out with another girl. I felt like that romance was really forced. I like the filming sequences where he is running and Billy Crudup is great. I wouldn't watch it again but I would throw it in the Christian movie genre of Hallmark films where if you ever need kind of a pick-me-up movie this would do. No one particularly stands out and it falls flat many times. There was just a slight piece missing from making this a really good movie.

What a great movie! brought me to tears. Kevin's painful journey is one that anyone can relate to. Its about overcoming the death of your beloved ones and keep rowing the boat. or running with your heart...:-) Billy Crudup's performance is outstanding. Its a tender movie that will also make you laugh. Highly recommend!

'1 Mile to you' tells the story of a young man who loses his friends in a bus accident and his journey to recovery after the event. Graham Rogers, Billy Crudup and the entire cast are outstanding and give wonderfully compelling and honest performances. So moving and brought me and the entire family to tears. The cinematography is outstanding (Gary Shaw who shot 'Moon' by Duncan Jones). Music by Paul Doucette (Member of the the band 'Matchbox 20') is amazing. Loved the music. This is not a film for the jaded or if your looking for something dark and ironic (Ie; the LATImes review calling it cluttered WHICH IT IS NOT). 'Run' to the theater!

Actor Graham Rogers is a 26-y/o high school student whose tragic loss of friends and track teammates sets the stage for this "running as emotional release" teen tearjerker.The film may work for teens, but anyone older will notice that Graham's catharsis is superficial. Be it the grief-by-numbers script, Hallmark/Lifetime-level direction, or Graham's acting limitations, this tale if personal turmoil keeps its emotions on the surface like an oil slick.In just a couple of scenes, veteran actor Tim Roth infuses more interest than Rogers manages for the rest of the film.Billy Crudup deserves better dialogue as well as character development. Th0ough he isn't an "It Boy" anymore, Crudup's acting chops were proved in the recent gem 20th CENTURY WOMEN.For a far superior conceptualization of this type of tragedy, see THE SWEET HEREAFTER. The recent French film "1:54" portrays a troubled runner with much more depth and interest, despite that film's fail at the finish line.
