Quiet and quirky, yet refreshingly unpretentious, Off the Map is a welcome sojourn in a place that seems strange, yet entirely familiar.

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

[A] lovely film, which hardly ever makes a move that feels wrong.

Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle
Fresh

A journey into an austere land of moviemaking where few artists dare go.

Bill Muller, Arizona Republic
Rotten

It's so focused on the subject that the downer mood becomes distressingly contagious.

John Hartl, Seattle Times
Fresh

Surprisingly enjoyable and insightful, full of hope and generosity, with characters and a story that not only satisfy but also shed light in various directions.

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
