My Very Learned Review of The Road (Film)


Mom commits suicide then father and son walk along meandering road with grey skies above while viewer begins to suspect that he or she should commit suicide, more walking and more grey skies, further increases the suspicion in the viewer that this is really going to not be worth it, father dies with ten minutes left to go in the movie and then Guy Pierce picks up the kid, confirming the suspicion of the viewer (formed nearly 6 hours ago) that he or she should have committed suicide with mom.  Or pressed STOP.  END.  HORRIBLE.  Based off the novel by Cormac McCarthy.
