"A potentially interesting tale flailing haplessly in the quicksand of holiday-movie formula."

"Mick Garris has a real feeling for the horror master's melancholy worldview - love is loss - but he's too reverent toward the original story"

"What makes this straightforward film so incredibly moving is that it keeps its scathing political commentary firmly rooted in everyday struggle."

"'The Open Road' isn’t an unwatchable howler -- instead, writer-director Michael Meredith’s film is merely dull and obvious."

"There is so much to admire and empathize with in Stephanie Daley that it feels almost boorish to quibble about whether the film needs to come packaged as a murder mystery."

"Catches the volatile beauty of what it was to be alive and politically aware in the early '70s with a rare accuracy and depth."

"A hit in Denmark, this impressive debut feature from writer-director Anders Thom as Jensen is decidedly offbeat, with Jensen contrasting moments of brutal violence with the emerging gentleness of Torkild and his friends."

"Some will see this as a movie about how we're all God’s children. I saw only the misanthropic fulminations of Jensen's runaway ego."
