This was a great, the story is good, the direction is very bad, but at least the acting is outstanding, all actors did a very good job with their parts, I was very disappointed with the ending!... Full review
Not very compelling

The acting is very good, but the plot (although thought- provoking), is very predictable and unlikely. The film had a few good things going for it, but it just is a bad movie. Think about it what it brings to mind,... Full review

Reservation Road was a very powerful/emotional movie. A young couple has their son taken away in a pedestrian vs SUV accident, but the driver doesn't stop- his conscience gets to him and it becomes a very powerful movie. The acting is... Full review
not "In the Bedroom" or "Mystic River", but approaching them

I didn't know what "Reservation Road" was about when I started watching it. Not knowing the plot makes the movie hit you more. After an unfortunate event, the two families involved (neither of whom knows who the other is) inadvertently become... Full review

I have finally got to see this movie on DVD. It is a wonderful and moving story, performed by an exceptional cast, lead by a more than oscar-worthy performance from Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Ruffalo. Now after I have seen it,... Full review

I saw the first screening in Denver at the Chez Artiste. About 15 minutes into it the characters were upside-down, walking backwards and their voices sounded like a foreign language. There was some problem that could not be fixed until the... Full review

The Celebrity Cafe
the performances are extraordinary.....Perhaps overshadowed by the similarly titled DiCaprio-Winslet "Revolutionary Road" last year, "Reservation Road" did not receive much buzz or acclaim....Phoenix, also an acclaimed actor, gives both a simplicity and complexity to Ethan, who wants nothing more than for the killer to be caught.....The film explores an incredibly sad story without much of a new take on the matter.... ...

Reservation Road succeeds in emphasizing the catastrophic events of a hit and run accident with astoundingly powerful performances from everyone in the cast.....Each of these characters suffer in different ways....Undeniably Academy Award worthy performances pours forth from Jennifer Connelly, Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Ruffalo..... ...

This film brings to light the difficulties in finding the perpetrators, the devastation of loved ones and the consequences suffered from lack of judgment on the part of the driver. Although the acting all around is above par, the story is weak with several inconceivable coincidences. ... Full Review

A tale of anger, revenge, and great courage, the film follows two fathers as their families and lives converge.....Driving his son back to his ex-wife, Lucas' mother Ruth Wheldon (Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino), Dwight heads towards his fateful encounter at Reservation Road..... ... Full Review

Christianity Today
George's direction is solid and even interesting, with several scenes where the camera gets right in the actors' faces, disconcertingly close.....However, the film presents no such insight into the psyches of either man.....Reservation Road boasts some of the best performances seen this year.....These actors are far too good for this material.....On paper, the story looks strong..... ...
