Between Simon-Kennedy's writing and Carpenter's performance, Nola makes for a compelling character, gently pushing the story along at her own steady pace. June 16, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Even though the movie's engine sputters at the end, it's beautifully shot, the actors are fun to watch, and the story is decent in fits and starts. June 13, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

There's an incredible authenticity and intimacy conveyed within this film as Carpenter's "Nora" looks for answers and relies on her unique upbringing. November 27, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/4.0 | Full Review…

The Short History of the Long Road would have benefitted from having a lengthier run time. Yet, its naturalistic performances as well as its momentous yet moderate handling of parental mistakes. September 23, 2020 | Full Review…

The Short History of the Long Road is a more contemplative coming-of-age drama than most, but despite its frequently weighty subject matter, it never drags or becomes oppressively dark. September 9, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
