In the spirit of many great comedians, Jim Cummings has a knack for taking lines that shouldn't be funny and transforming them into accidental zingers.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 10, 2019

Cummings's feature debut doesn't always get the balance right, but when it does it packs a bittersweet punch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 2, 2019

It takes a few narrative risks that won't win everyone over, but it allowed itself to be complex and conflicted about itself. That kept you on the edge of your seat.

Such an unapologetic crisis of masculinity will strike some as self-indulgent in times such as these. Yet Cummings is so committed to Arnaud's tragicomic trajectory... that you can't take your eyes off him.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 31, 2019

A performance showcase for star, writer, director, editor and composer Jim Cummings which leaves you in no doubt you'll be seeing more of him.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 30, 2019

An emotional tour de force.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 29, 2019

Dramatically, Thunder Road is a little thin, but the plot's not the point: this is all about Cummings, who sparkles with charisma and confidence. It's an unabashed indulgence.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 29, 2019

Cummings presents us with a guy whose heart is in the right place - he just can't control himself.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 29, 2019

Thunder Road is a tour de force for Jim Cummings, who wrote, directed and (according to the credits) "performed" it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 26, 2019

The film shares something of its hero's self-involvement. If you can accept that, however, Thunder Road is an impressive one-man-show.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2019

Remarkably, Cummings manages to piece these oddball vignettes into a vivid drama with its own unpredictable, startlingly lovely shape.

I have seen humanistic American filmmaking's future, and its name is Jim Cummings.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 12, 2018

Thunder Road is an exhilarating ride. It announces Jim Cummings as a talent to be reckoned with and dances on the jagged precipice of emotional contradictions. It's a graceless dance to watch, but delivered with the utmost control and grace.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 11, 2018

Offers a memorable depiction of a man ill-equipped to deal with or direct his feelings-probably not all that different from the rest of us.

| Original Score: B | Oct 11, 2018

Cummings, who also wrote and directed the film, has delivered a remarkable tragicomic performance in the lead.

| Original Score: B | May 14, 2018

Driven by Cummings' transfixingly vulnerable performance, the movie not only justifies returning to the source: Shockingly, it does so without even using the device that seemed key to the short's success.

| Mar 30, 2018

When Cummings finds the right balance of dramatic license and believable characterization, 'Thunder Road' is exhilarating to watch.

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

Thunder Road lands on a tragic development, but upends it with a single teary-eyed moment that hints - with no real evidence - that better things may be around the corner.

| Original Score: B+ | Mar 14, 2018

Cummings is a born filmmaker who plants seedlings of raw drama that sprout in unexpected and moving ways.
