Road Ratings & Reviews
CineVue
Scott Davis
Filmed with incredible depth and zip by filmmakers Hewitt and Lavery, Road is an earnest, realistic acknowledgement of the sport, showing the impacts of the brothers' love for the sport.
Total Film
Simon Kinnear
Less adventurous stylistically than other motorsport docs, maybe, but more heartfelt thanks to a spine of bittersweet first-person testimony and the sensory eloquence of the Dunlops in motion.
Financial Times
Nigel Andrews
Road takes us from scepticism to spellbound spectating in the first 60 action seconds: biker's-eye thrill rides at Mach speeds, blurring passing trees and hedges, swooping at bends to kiss the tarmac.
Independent (UK)
Geoffrey Macnab
The film-makers do an excellent job of conveying the sheer reckless thrill of racing.
Empire Magazine
Simon Crook
Following in the tyre tracks of TT3D, this petrolhead doc is packed with thrills, spills and personalities.
Observer (UK)
Mark Kermode
Slathered in portentous narration by Liam Neeson and a ludicrously over-cranked and incessant score, both of which conspire to undercut, rather than enhance, the overall impact.
Irish Times
Donald Clarke
Featuring a rich brown voiceover by Liam Neeson and sickening on-bike footage, Road tells terrible, exciting, tragic stories that fairly rattle the spine.
Guardian
Peter Bradshaw
Is road racing supposed to look this dysfunctional? I don't know. Well - an arresting story.
Time Out
Trevor Johnston
The tragedies and triumphs of the Dunlop dynasty will be well known to fans, so this retelling will have most impact on newcomers to their remarkable story.
Times (UK)
Kate Muir
The adrenaline-fuelled view from bike cameras descends into crash-porn waiting to happen, as the film luxuriates in its own grief.
Little White Lies
Sabina Stent
A fascinating insight into road racing's first family.
