FILMRECENSION. Stephen King-filmatiseringen har varit på gång länge, och i händerna på "The Hunger Games"-regissören har den nu blivit av. Resultatet är brutalt och otäckt – men också ljust och hoppfullt.

Stephen King-adaption satt i en sönderfallen värld där unga män tvingas ut på en lång vandring där bara en överlever. Duktiga skådisar i mestadels förutsägbar berättelse.

Roger Ebert

For as ironically static as JT Mollner’s script is, the conversations and dynamics become innately cinematic.

IGN

"The violence doesn’t take long to become numbing, but that’s the whole point here. The director smartly illuminates this by having Cooper Hoffman’s Ray Garraty call out the real horror of The Long Walk early on, vocalizing his fear that both the Walkers and the audience (in their world, and by extension our own) will grow to accept the bloodshed as routine."

The Long Walk is brutal. It’s not for the faint of heart. It can be violent, disgusting, and incredibly hard to watch. But if you do watch, you’ll be rewarded with a surprisingly beautiful, nuanced, human story.

The Guardian

If you like your dystopian scenarios lean and extremely mean, then look no further than this Stephen King adaptation, which is surely one of the grimmest mainstream movies we’ve had for some time.

The Hollywood Reporter

What rescues the film from tedium are the characterizations, which are well-drawn even under the briefest circumstances. The increasingly warm friendship between Ray and Peter proves deeply affecting.

Slashfilm

"'The Long Walk' is an emotionally obliterating all-time great Stephen King adaptation, and undoubtedly one of the best films of 2025. I left the theater exhausted and hollowed out with eyes sore from wiping tears, carrying the weight of what I had just witnessed in the pit of my knotted stomach."

Flickering Myth

"A top-tier Stephen King adaptation, The Long Walk strides out of the pack to become one of 2025’s biggest surprises, and drags with it a Stand By Me-level performance from David Jonsson."

Deadline

"The Long Walk is one of the bleakest, most relentlessly dark major studio releases of recent memory... The exhaustion becomes cynical. That we know most of, if not all, these characters will die, does limit how much genuine tension is actually available to mine."
