A bore...a largely aimless, joyless, cinematically drab road movie full of longueurs and detours populated by dull characters with little or…

Review of On The Road (2013)

By James Mottram (656) for Total Film (3,532) on 27 Sep 2012

It may lose its way on occasions, but thanks to a committed cast and a script that captures the Kerouac vibe, Salles' adaptation never ends…

Review of On The Road (2013)

By Andrew L. Urban (972) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 22 Sep 2012

Review of On The Road (2013)

By Fred Topel (1,193) for CraveOnline (813) on 14 Sep 2012

Realizing that On the Road is not really a movie for me, I think it is a good movie. It's well done, fast paced at over two hours and never dragging…

Review of On The Road (2013)

By Simon Miraudo (882) for Quickflix (709) on 11 Jun 2012

A rambling, tedious, seemingly unending mess that can't be salvaged by three decent but mostly underwhelming performances…
