By Noel Murray (1,901) for AV Club (2,778) on 20 Dec 2012

Review of On the Road (2012)

By Erica Abeel (109) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 19 Dec 2012

The period detail is perfect and the lensing nails the novel's frenzied rhythms, but a literal-minded approach and miscast lead stall this…

Review of On the Road (2012)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 18 Dec 2012

A dash of Tarantino might have juiced up Walter Salles' wrongheadedly well-mannered take on Jack Kerouac's 1957 Beat Generation landmark…
