Review:

'John Hillcoat's superb adaptation of the prize-winning novel by Cormac McCarthy leads its audience on a road to nowhere' : 'haunting, harrowing, powerful' Xan Brooks, The Guardian, 03.09.09 'Hillcoat's movie is a resounding triumph' Tom Huddleston, Time Out, 05.01.10 'The Road might just be one of the most heartfelt end-of-the-world movies yet made' : 'shockingly good at depicting that certain unspoken sadness that is the baseline of all parent-child relationships' Kevin Maher, The Times, 08.01.10
