#TheLongWalk is easily one of the best films of the year. Filled with phenomenal performances that ripped my heart to complete shreds. Utterly gripping and haunting. I’m going to be thinking about this film for a long while. pic.twitter.com/wOmcEHR77D

My heart is still reeling from The Long Walk. This one of the most brutal & harrowing films I’ve seen in a long time. It’s unrelenting in its approach but through its darkness, is the heart & humanity of friendships & bonds formed during unimaginable odds. #thelongwalk #walkordie pic.twitter.com/vGUBDSQxp8

#TheLongWalk tore my heart out. it’s a stunning, shocking, endlessly evocative road trip that’s not a road trip with two flawless performances at its center. cooper hoffman and david jonsson were born to walk beside each other. someone’s getting my therapy bill!! pic.twitter.com/jQJaoBAUqW

I’ve seen quite a few movies this year, but #thelongwalk is easily one of the best I’ve seen this year. Brutally depressing, but sums up how amazing Stephen king is. David jonsson and cooper Hoffman some of the best performances this year pic.twitter.com/etohal8ToY

The Long Walk is a masterpiece. Haunting, beautiful, immensely thought-provoking. One of the most captivating movies of the year that should see David Jonsson with plenty of awards. For as devastating as the movie is, there’s so much beauty in it as well. #TheLongWalk pic.twitter.com/dvvfzQDIzg

#TheLongWalk isn’t so much a horror movie as it is a bleak, haunting dystopian drama—one that explores brotherhood and sacrifice while you, along with the boys, endure its tragic inevitability.
One of the Best Movies of 2025. pic.twitter.com/BWTqJJF4pF
