Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: FAIR "Shot on HD with evocative locations in California and Mexico, the imagery does have a certain impressionist grace, but the film's romantic ideal of the road -- lonely diners, vintage cars and seaside shanties -- seems misplaced, oversimplified and overused."(See all of Mark Olsen's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 234 words, 01/09/09
Ernest Hardy, LA Weekly: MODERATE "David Morrison's cinematography gives 'Tracing' a meditative beauty. The rest of Jason Wulfsohn's sophomore feature, inspired by and constantly referencing John Ford's 'The Searchers,' is a little less successful."(See all of Ernest Hardy's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 229 words, 01/08/09

Joe Leydon, Daily Variety: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "...the two leads achieve unvarnished naturalism and raw emotional intensity in scenes that hint at influences as diverse as Antonioni, Bergman and Cassavetes.... however, auds may feel painfully aware of the passing of time and the opacity of the storytelling."(See all of Joe Leydon's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 713 words, 04/30/08
