Walter
Walter Gary Benjamin works as a ticket-taker slash ticket-tearer at the local Cineplex, who believes he is the son of God. When he was ten years old he made a deal with God to judge the eternal fate of everyone he comes in contact with in exchange for his father going to Heaven. Walter manages his daily routine and his worrisome mother until the mysterious Greg shows up and forces him to confront the meaning of his life, and his future.

Walter isn't quite like anything you've seen before. Shot partly in Indianapolis on a shoestring budget, this quirky comedy is one of the best films out right now.March 12, 2015
The shift from bright comedy to rather grim drama is gradual enough to carry the audience along...March 12, 2015
The narrative is effectively constructed and the cinematography is crisp. Even so, in touching lightly on themes without committing to any of them, the movie falls flat.March 08, 2015
more an extended situation than an actual storyMarch 10, 2015
An outstanding cast goes a long way toward helping the movie to leap past its outlandish gimmick.March 12, 2015
What a strange little indie film this is.March 10, 2015
Feels something like gathering a team of master chefs to make a breakfast of corn flakes and Tang.March 12, 2015
What's not to love, after all, about a therapist who calls a mentally unbalanced man crazy to his face? But it's also an appropriate response to both Walter the movie and Walter the ridiculous construct of a movie character.March 13, 2015
The slow compromise of this perfect world, and Walter's increasingly messy interactions with other human beings (Madsen and William H. Macy are especially good), provide both laughs and heart.January 08, 2015
An overly cutesy, credibility-straining dramedy ...March 12, 2015
A lovely and touching third act helps make up for a wobbly, at times convoluted first hour in the quirky fantasy-dramedy "Walter."March 12, 2015
It's uneven work, but not without elements that come together quite well, including a game supporting cast skilled at bringing personality to picture, while lead Andrew J. West commits in full.
