Paradise Highway Reviews
... It’s no one’s finest hour.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 15, 2023
The script does almost nothing to build up to the revelation at the end – and the human trafficking angle feels icky.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 14, 2023
...neither brutal enough to play as an exploitation thriller, nor enough of a world-building deep dive into trucking and trafficking to measure up against similar and superior dramas like What Alice Found and Honey Bee.

“Paradise Highway” is the kind wayward, tonally muddled project an actress the caliber of Binoche would only sign onto if promises were broken and payback was required.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 29, 2022
Though it is refreshing to see members of law enforcement focused on recovering and supporting a victim rather than pursuing her abusers, it does not allow for much narrative tension.

A shrewdly constructed melodrama that does not transcend cliches and conventions so much as show how useful and effective they can be in the right hands.
