The Road Ratings & Reviews
- ርልዪረ28 februari 2026"You must think I'm from another world." The Road is a story about the bonding and survival of a father and son through a hopeless and barren wasteland. The film is bleak, depressing and somber in its tone and delivery. Food and other resources are scarce, those left must scavenge what they find in their travels to survive. Cannibalism is prevalent in this nightmare world where groups of miscreants prey upon the helpless. The Road is an immersive experience so serene, sensorial, and flowing that when we experience excruciatingly emotional, hair-raising, or gut-wrenching moments, we haven't even seen them coming, and when we have, they've already crept upon us. With every trait of every department, the result is utter simplicity, utter docility, no fluctuation in the face of whatever brutality or emotional quakes, making them all that much more profoundly moving. The dialogue is so restrained, the story so elemental and straightforward, that all of the primal feelings it evokes transcend any limitations of characters and images.
- Pascal Bollier9 januari 2026bleak and harrowing do not begin to describe this movie. relief is only found in memories, which paradoxically, intensify the hopelessness of the present. viggo is fantastic in bringing across this sense of despair while trying to be as optimistic as possible for his son. the movie stays with you for a while, at least it did for me. Recommended!
- kellysorensen4236 november 2025Just brilliant 🙂
- Walter Jospeh Kovacs1 november 2025Alternating between bleak and harrowing with sparsely punctuated moments of levity. Wonderful portrayals and characters that you attach to - really feel their suffering.
- trend2113 april 2025Very good. Post-apocalyptic vision of the world. Fight for survival and humanity.

- Magnus Carlbaum7 juli 2025The Road is a gut punch wrapped in barbed wire. Unforgiving. Unflinching. Make no mistake - this is one of the most depressing movies you will ever see. But does that make it bad? No. In fact, it is a great movie. It is about a flickering and dying hope. A beautiful tale about a man and his son under the most dire circumstances imaginable. And you have to ask yourself: How far would You walk the road?

- atkins9023 september 2025The apocalyptic setting makes this a very grueling watch, but it's emotionally powerful and rewarding for having gone on the journey... especially if you are a father or mother. Highly recommend reading the book first and then watching the movie to see what 2 hours they decided to highlight. Overall a great job on a nearly impossible task of trying to show and not tell when 80% of the book itself is narration about motives and feelings.
- JDar19843 oktober 2025Great dystopian apocalypse film, vigo mortensen delivers a strong performance as always.
- Ghas16 augustus 2025Beautiful and tragic
- GrimeFiVideo26 mei 2025Pretty good slow-burn film.
