Back Roads Reviews
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Less a movie than an extended sketch, and it's to the credit of Mr. Ritt, his stars and Gary Devore, the screenwriter, that the movie is so much fun.
DVDTalk.com
Scott Weinberg
A quiet and unassuming little comedy, a dual-gendered character study mixed with a low-key "road trip" adventure.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
If the movie had been willing to deal honestly with the plight of its characters, it wouldn't need to be clutterted up with eccentrics and hearts of gold.
Washington Post
Gary Arnold
You come out of "Back Roads" feeling more familiar with the configuration of Sally Field's spinal column and chestbone than the character she's struggling to embody.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Back Roads is a love story with real clout.
TV Guide
It's a surprise to discover that this hackneyed, relatively dull road picture is the work of director Martin Ritt.
