Back Roads (2018) Reviews

  • A tense study in repressed emotion

    palovyper2018-12-16

    This Shakespearian-like social realism-tragedy is very well made. It would be strange to call it an entertaining film but it is engaging and superbly acted. Alex Pettyfer shows great depth as an actor here; and Juliette Lewis is exceptional as well. Her presence on screen leaves one with a lingering feeling of unease and sympathy. Thematically this piece of work is tough and hard to swallow at times (issues if child abuse, repressed anger and sexual urges, as well as poverty) but it is always watchable. Recommended.

  • One of the best movies I've seen this year

    Great movie. Not sure why people are suggesting its not. Heart wrenching, difficult to watch at times. Clearly didn't have the pressures of a big studio dictating the plot. Give it a go and you won't be disappointed.

  • This movie is awsome

    I loved this movie in all it's aspects. The acting is very good, especially the main actor, who is superb showing the right emotions (or lack of them) after his life is shaken by traumatic incidents. The plot is very well writen and the timing and pace describs the right predict interest line. The story is always actual as it shows a hard and very hidden reality. And yes, there is some atrocity, cause the reality sometimes (more than we wanted) is also atrocious! I didn't find it slow. But if you think that it is, what's that suppose to mean? Aren't "Paris Texas", "2001 Space Odyssey"; "Fargo"; "There will be blood"; or even "The Godfather" awesome slow paced movies? Also I love Julliet Lewis. So good to watch her again in a movie. Love it.

  • It had me until the end...

    I thought the acting was phenomenal and the story was interesting yet, heartbreaking. Pettyfer made a great director for this, especially since it was his first time. The biggest problem I had with the movie was the ending. I kept hoping things would work out for Harley and that the police couldn't possibly believe he actually killed his lover. I was sorely disappointed with the ending because Harley ends up in prison and his baby sister is stuck living with their uncle and two psychotic killer sisters. Even if Harley did feel guilty about the incest, he wouldn't have let Jody live with those other two psycho sisters. I don't believe for a moment that he would take the blame for the murder his sister commited after he criticized his mother for doing the same thing. That's just not logical.

  • Excellent movie

    torroutedipz2019-03-25

    I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into when I started this movie, but it didn't disappoint. Between rentals and streaming, I watch a movie every night, so with such a prolific quantity many are either sub-par or very similar to each other. This was a nice surprise. The synopsis sounded like a dark thriller and I figured it would be decent, but it was excellent. It was definitely dark, and extremely messed up. There were a couple of twists, that ended up being even more dark and twisted than I thought they'd be. I won't go into detail about the plot other than to say dark and twisted. I know I've used those adjectives more than once, but that pretty much sums it up.
