Movie Reviews

  • while it's touching how Sally Potter tries to restore a measure of humanity to someone who's being robbed of what little they have left, her movie never takes you anywhere because there's nowhere for Leo (Javier Bardem) to return
    Review rate : C by David Ehrlich [IndieWire ]
  • Sally Potter's hallucinatory, meandering road movie will test your patience to breaking point; Potter's ambitious film may sound intriguing on paper, but the execution is sorely lacking
    by Greg Wetherall [Little White Lies ]
  • Javier Bardem and Elle Fanning are commanding actors who give it all they've got to make their characters realistic, but while the film can be intriguing, it is never truly moving
    by Deborah Young [The Hollywood Reporter ]
  • despite a deeply expressive performance from Javier Bardem as an an author suffering from early-onset dementia, Sally Potter's deeply personal film stubbornly refuses to come to life
    2 of 5 by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]
  • after an hour of this tedium, you stop worrying about where this disaster is going--or if it's going anywhere at all. In the end credits, 28 producers are listed for an 85-minute film that doesn't appear to have even had one
    2 of 4 by Rex Reed [Observer ]
  • "The Roads Not Taken" is not a perfect film; But Elle Fanning and Javier Bardem deliver two utterly devastating performances that show the power of despair met with unyielding love
    by Candice Frederick [The Wrap ]
