Some reviewers found the film's nonlinear storytelling—which uses Jadin as an "apparition" or mental companion during Joe's walk—to be an effective way to explore their relationship. However, others argued the film focused too much on the father's redemption and "pain" rather than the son's lived experience.
Directed by and written by the Academy Award-winning duo Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana ( Brokeback Mountain ), the movie stars Mark Wahlberg as Joe Bell and Reid Miller as Jadin.
The film currently holds a "Mixed or Average" rating on IMDb and Metacritic. Joe Bell (2021) Movie Review
The 2021 film Joe Bell (originally titled Good Joe Bell ) is a biographical drama that tells the heartbreaking true story of an Oregon father's cross-country walk to raise awareness about the consequences of bullying.
Devastated by the loss and grappling with his own previous inability to fully accept his son’s identity, Joe began a solo trek on foot across the United States. His goal was to walk from Oregon to New York City—a city his son had dreamed of living in—while stopping at schools and community centers along the way to speak about inclusion and the "lasting effects of bullying".
It first debuted at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) as Good Joe Bell .
Critics were largely divided on the film's execution, leading to mixed reviews.
