A tactile, emotion-laden world of beauty, loss, recovery.

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

In "Hide Away," Josh Lucas plays an alcoholic widower who undergoes a spiritual rebirth by fixing up a sailboat, and I really wish he hadn't.

Kyle Smith, New York Post

[It] feels padded even in its brief running time; it's a slight mood piece posing as a character study.

Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times

Elliot Davis's pretty greeting-card cinematography, which lingers on birds, clouds and branches as it follows the seasonal changes, is better at evoking the passage of time and the rhythms of nature than all the sodden, pretentious dialogue.

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten

It's basically just Lucas going through a short story-like period of reflection and redemption almost entirely without dialogue. It's not enough, but it is what this underappreciated actor does best.

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
