The Road Movie is a good time, particularly if you can share the experience with someone else or a theater full of people similarly inclined to laugh along.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 8, 2020

The Road Movie is surreal, funny, and occasionally a bit of a nightmare to watch unfold. But every second of it is highly watchable and captivating.

| May 28, 2020

A spectacular dash-cam compilation of head-ons, side-swipes, t-bones, fishtails, jackknives, roll-overs, and other moving violations unfolding daily (heaven forbid!) on Russian roads.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 24, 2019

Compulsive viewing

| Jul 1, 2019

It was never as good as it could have been, but it held my interest briefly.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 22, 2019

A 67-minute compilation of some of the wildest dashcam footage you'll see, and while I'd hesitate to even call this a film in the strictest sense, it's a fun ride nonetheless.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 26, 2018

If you only have time for one film this week, by all means get to the jaw-dropping The Road Movie.

| Apr 4, 2018

There are surprises aplenty in this Warholian presentation of real-life death and destruction, and it will leave you paranoid about getting behind the wheel.

| Mar 17, 2018

There is something undeniably visceral about The Road Movie. Perhaps there's a Rorschach-esque, staring-at-clouds quality at play, but the more you watch, the more that you start to see a little bit of artistry at play.

| Mar 14, 2018

A relatively fun - if scattershot - commentary on how Russia's new middle class meets the older, tractor-driving traditionalists who refuse to give way to newcomers no matter where they're from.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 22, 2018

An assemblage of found footage, all of it taken from dash-cams, The Road Movie only can be watched with wide-eyed disbelief.

| Jan 25, 2018

If you are as addicted to the YouTube genre of Russian dashcam videos as I am, you will not want to miss The Road Movie. It has everything you want to see and much more.

| Jan 24, 2018

A study of human nature under unusual circumstances, revealing the often stoic and nonchalant nature of the Russian character.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 20, 2018

A tapestry of the absurd.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 20, 2018

At its most exploitative, The Road Movie aspires to the sensationalism of mondo filmmaking. The dashcam framing, however, both inhibits and enhances the film. Because the camera's static, it's more objective than handheld. It's incapable of gawking.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 19, 2018

There are also the short, sharp shocks that reach into your gut and rip a gasp out of you, but it's sequences like the couple driving through a literal forest fire that allows The Road Movie to offer something that all great movies do: a new sensation.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 19, 2018

What's the allure? If you've gaped at something gone horribly wrong, you know the fundamental answer; many of these 'cammers stay at the scene much longer than they have to, repeating the same words of astonishment as a passenger begs them to go.

| Jan 19, 2018

There's lots of snow, ice, torrential rains, floods, wildfires and ample additional proof that folks over there hardly need help from inclement weather to spectacularly wreck their vehicles.

| Jan 19, 2018

The alternately hilarious and harrowing result offers a glimpse into life in contemporary working-class Russia, even if it shortchanges any broader context or insight.

| Jan 19, 2018

Here is a film of considerable action and excitement that is undoubtedly real.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 19, 2018
