• Review: The Road

  
  Cinematical — Authority: 764
  By: Eugene Novikov, reprinted from the Telluride Film Festival 09 Just before the kid was born, the world burned. We dont know why, and the characters dont talk about it -- perhaps they dont quite know themselves, or maybe theyve decided that it no longer matters. The Boys universe is grey, full of ash, dust, and ...

  Even as the president pardons a pair of prime gobblers who will  instead be going into show business at Disneyland , there’s a good chance that at least one major release this weekend may meet a less charitable fate as a fierce battle rages for the #2 spot.

  Brow Beat — Authority: 130
  John Hillcoats The Road finally arrives in theaters Wednesday, more than a year after its originally announced release date. Yet despite rumored cuts, tweaks, re-shoots, and an initial marketing campaign bizarrely committed to selling the apocalypse as a romance, the film is not the disaster many assumed it would ...

• THE ROAD—Peter Galvins Review

  
  The Evening Class — Authority: 416
  There are many breathtaking, enduring images in The Road . I suppose thats largely what the film is: a succession of breathtaking images.

• Review: ‘The Road’

  
  The Flickcast — Authority: 562
  In spite of its rather depressing subject matter and its bleak outlook on most of humanity, The Road manages to be an insightful, relevant, entertaining and important film which will not only hook you from the opening moments but will cause you to do something that most movies released these days do not: Think. ...

• Apocalypse, and How: Viggo Mortensen’s Road Winds On

  
  Underwire — Authority: 143
  Cormac McCarthy’s post-apocalyptic novel The Road makes strange fodder for a blockbuster film released over Thanksgiving weekend.

  BuzzSugar — Authority: 645
  Its not that I was expecting a film adaptation of Cormac McCarthys The Road to be happy sunshine - I just wasnt expecting it to seem so possible . The apocalyptic tale takes place in a wasteland in the future after most humans are gone. Its desolate, the sky is a brownish-gray, and the land seems to be covered ...

  Big Hollywood — Authority: 804
  It’s the end of the world – and I feel haunted Imagine that the entire world as you’ve known it has come to an end right before your eyes.

• Cormac McCarthy’s The Road

  
  J.B. Spins — Authority: 428
  It was a most unlikely Oprah book. An eventual winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road surely had the literary credentials, but lacked the predictable victimization themes favored by the talk show host. Even more improbably, McCarthy’s novel used elements of science fiction, namely the ...

  Shelf Life — Authority: 628
  T.S. Eliot predicted that the world would end with a whimper rather than a bang, but this month it will have ended with both onscreen. Just weeks after the release of the destruct-o-thon 2012, John Hillcoat’s adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s grim and muted postapocalyptic novel The Road hits theaters Nov. 25. And ...

  Cranach: The Blog of Veith — Authority: 507
  Have any of you seen 2012 , the movie based on the notion that ancient Indian texts predicted the world will end in three years and that those ancient Indians were somehow right? I’ve actually had Christians ask me about that, if there might be anything to it. If any of you would like to report on the movie, ...

  Film School Rejects — Authority: 668
  There’s something so beautiful and captivating about the end of humanity, the last gasping breaths of life as we know it. This is why post-apocalyptic movies have been so popular in recent years.

  gibberish — Authority: 132
  Cheer up son. Its not the bloody end of the world. Is it? I am a massive fan of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road (and while you’re at it “No Country for Old Men” is a beast too). Anyway the movie of the book opens on Jan 8 here in the UK. Here’s an early (fairly mean)review from NYC. It currently 8.4’s on ...
