Free Ride Reviews
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
While this true-life odyssey should be the basis for a compelling drama or even a taut thriller, slack direction and a weak screenplay undermine the plot's inherent tension.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Shana Betz's too-insistent refusal to commit to the melodramatic or to the suspenseful only makes the film seem like empty dramatization.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
It's unspeakably depressing to see Anna Paquin playing the mom (of a teenager!), but the pointlessness and mediocrity of the Paquin-produced "Free Ride" is even more depressing.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
The result, while sincere and nicely evoked, feels choppy, familiar and, despite the script's heavily stacked deck - and a few harrowing episodes - lacks sufficient momentum.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
From top to bottom, it feels authentic, and its laid-back, nonjudgmental tone evokes the easygoing world of Jimmy Buffett songs celebrating how changes in latitude bring changes in attitude.
Village Voice
Michael Nordine
The film is content to merely document certain happenings and hope you find them as interesting as it does.
