Review of Back Roads (1981) by David Ansen for Newsweek — 09 Nov 1996
How could they take this material and make it really original? Maybe by refusing to be seduced by the Screenwriter's stock Hollywood "originality" and probing more deeply into the real human lives of the characters.
The people in Back Roads are so heavily laden with schtick that they never have a chance to develop personalities.
