"The Salt Path is a cinematic journey worth taking."
— Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood Daily

"An intelligent, bittersweet drama with well-placed moments of humour and humanity."
— Stephen Romei, The Australian
"The coastal scenery is spectacular on the eye, while Isaacs and especially Anderson are both superb."
— Brian Viner, Daily Mail (UK)
"A tale of desperate penury that offers famous faces, gorgeous scenery and artful uplift, made to be seen in a boutique cinema."
— Danny Leigh, Financial Times
"A long journey around the coast is also a journey inwards, with actors at the top of their game, in this moving story of love, friendship and resolve."
— Jane Freebury
"It is a simple story, well written and performed, and staged with some robust beauty. This is a funny, loving, honest and unsentimental wee gem."
— Graeme Tuckett, The Post NZ
"It’s an impressive first film for a director who clearly has a way with both actors and sets, taking full advantage of the beauty that Ray and Moth see on their journey but aren’t always able to fully stop and appreciate."
— Abe Friedtanzer, Cinema Daily US
"With understated performances from Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, as well as immersive land and soundscapes that enhance the thematic pull, this portrait of loss, humanity and rebirth makes it worth the emotional investment."
— Courtney Howard, Variety
