Reviews By Critics For 'The Road Within' (2015)

Katie Walsh | Los Angeles Times

"The Road Within" suffers from midfilm wandering and a hasty ending, but the message of self-acceptance rings true and clear.

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat | Spirituality and Practice

A quest drama that fizzles out quickly.

Brian Orndorf | Blu-ray.com

Competently acted, offering moments of behavioral clarity that are truly something to see, but it's not a complete depiction of need, frequently resorting to distraction instead of tackling problems head-on.

Graham Fuller | New York Daily News

Riveting, full-blooded performances from the young leads and a tough-love ending raise it above what you may expect.

The Road Within Movie Review By MDBReviews

It seems like the ideal setup for a fabulous weak joke: A kid with Tourette's, an anorexic young lady, and a fanatical habitual flawless monstrosity take an auto and head for the shoreline. Had author chief Gren Wells demonstrated simply a touch more contemptuousness or brave or inventiveness, The Road Within could have given a whopper of a punchline.

But this is, of course, a movie about affliction, and it ultimately succumbs to the bland, sentimental uplift we've come to expect from such outings. After his mother dies, Vincent  is installed at a mental institution by his cold, career-obsessed father.

It's The Odd Couple meets Rain Man meets Benny & Joon, as Marie and Vincent strike up a provisional sentiment, lose tolerance with Alex, and afterward kindly attempt to bring Alex out of his phobic shell. Wells' couple of endeavors at stun esteem - in independent, profane fits, Vincent calls his cleric a pedophile and Alex a progression of racial slurs - are wan and constrained. None of the characters are fleshed sufficiently out to ingest or even delight. What's more, if this is the last film wherein background noise out the sound amid a beatdown scene, we'll be in an ideal situation for.
