You shouldn't miss out on this; just prepare yourself with tissues because it will make you cry a lot. (9/10)
”Regardless of the ending, it’s still the journey that counts—and this film made us feel its worth. (3.76/5)
”[...] isang Magandang movie for me itong A Journey. Dun pa lang sa talented cast, bawing bawi na ang pelikula mula sa wobbly storytelling nito sa dulo. (Maganda)
”“A Journey” takes some bold decisions and makes its entire story mean something else. It gives death the fearful respect it deserves. For this alone, “A Journey” should deserve some praise. (3.5/5)

”[...] I dreaded that this would just go the usual lugubrious of most dramas about terminal illness. However, screen writer Onay Sales-Camero sprung several surprises on us along the way. (7/10)
”"A Journey" goes beyond its drama and nostalgia. This is a simple yet nuanced experience that delivers high on emotions and on its inspirational content. (3.5/5)

”(Translated) A Journey is not an overly nuanced or deep drama, despite the existential experiences at stake. (5/10)
”(Translated) This film certainly cannot be called 'a journey', or at least not one that goes anywhere. That means staying home. (1/5)
