Movie Reviews

• yet the narrative lacks a strong heartbeat

  by Joe Morgenstern [Wall Street Journal ]

• what's ultimately wrong with On The Road is that the film envisions everyone Sal meets as nothing but fodder

  by Linda Holmes [NPR ]

• this film ain't for everyone. My "consumer reports" side is urging me to say, again, nothing really happens in the movie

  Review rate : B+ by Jordan Hoffman [Film.com ]

• there's room here for both Carax's daring and Salles's sensitive workmanship-even if, when the dust settles

  by Jon Frosch [The Atlantic ]

• the movie's visual palette is gorgeous, with Eric Gautier's atmospheric camerawork signifying the book's parallels of rootlessness and discovery, solitude and solidarity

• the beauty and precision of Eric Gautier's cinematography gives everything

  by Stephen Holden [New York Times ]

  by Glenn Kenny [MSN Movies ]
