This compelling fact-based story is [Donaldson's] best effort in years.

Joshua Katzman, Chicago Reader

It takes a while to adjust to this amiable film's languorous tempo but you might find it's worth the wait.

Derek Adams, Time Out
Rotten

For a film that's ultimately about speed, it could use a little more zip.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

The World's Fastest Indian might be the world's worst title for a charming, slice-of-life biopic starring Anthony Hopkins.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

The World's Fastest Indian is an old-fashioned feel-good movie.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
