Road, Movie
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Dev Benegal scores full marks as a director to keep the film short and crisp, with the right dosage of thrill, humour, sarcasm and reality rolled into one.
-
An intentionally ambiguous film. A film very purposefully left open to interpretation.
-
It's a whimsical and charming celebration of the movies.
-
...it goes nowhere, driving aimlessly around in circles. And yet there are charming characters, and visuals to remember. It's a casual drive, short enough to not mind, long enough to leave you slightly tired.
-
Don't go looking for run-of-the-mill cinema and you will enjoy Road, Movie which is does lack story and drama.
-
...begins well, but then keeps you guessing as to what the movie is really all about?
-
The pacing is sluggish for a road flick and Dev Benegal’s screenplay is bland, lacking basic level drama.
-
Neither a full-blown road movie, nor a story that cleverly folds in the delights of touring cinema...
-
The film lacks coherence and its pace is problematic for this genre.
-
Yes, we all like a movie to stimulate our grey cells, but to serve up a perplexing narrative is just not done.
-
Except for a few interesting bits, `Road, Movie’ is a pointless meander.
-
The point of this road-less journey remains mysteriously unknown though, given it’s the premise.
-
...literally mixes the perils of an untravelled road with the magic of cinema, making it the kind of niche movie one loves at film festivals, but hesitates to buy a ticket for.
-
Unpredictable and occasionally charming, Road, Movie has its moments. But in the end it feels too long, a tad boring, and pretentious even.
-
...a purposeless wandering than a journey of any importance.
-
...is more for the festival circuit and some connoisseurs of art house cinema, who may savour it. That's about it!
-
...only those souls blessed with tons of patience can sit through a movie like Road. Trips to numerous film festivals around the world mean nothing if a movie less than 2 hours long, bores you to sleep.
