Critic Reviews for Roads

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (2)

A rocky if endearing trek through contemporary Europe.

Jordan Mintzer
Hollywood Reporter
Actor turned director and writer Sebastian Schipper examines immigration with this vibrant road movie.

May 6, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Dwight Brown
National Newspaper Publishers Association
By playing it by the book and ticking the right topical boxes in a conventionally structured story, Schipper misses the mark completely.

Vladan Petkovic
Cineuropa
Ham-fisted though the transition from buddy comedy to refugee exposé might be, Roads makes for a moving tribute to the power of brothers, be they lost, found, or created.

Marshall Shaffer
Crooked Marquee
An indie dramedy caught between humor and seriousness, there's a sense of this only being a rough draft of a fuller, better final product.

Joey Magidson

Roads is always on the move, be it by camper van, ferry, electronic bike or motorcycle, but it's the yearning of its two protagonists that gives the movie its restlessness.
