New York Daily News - Unnamed
They don’t come more clichéd than this indie road movie about three runaways who bond as they drive. But riveting, full-blooded performances from the young leads and a tough-love ending raise it above what you may expect.
60
Los Angeles Times - Katie Walsh
The Road Within suffers from midfilm wandering and a hasty ending, but the message of self-acceptance rings true and clear.
30
Village Voice - Sam Weisberg
This is, of course, a movie about affliction, and it ultimately succumbs to the bland, sentimental uplift we've come to expect from such outings.
25
Slant Magazine - Drew Hunt
The film's tired sentimentality aside, its general lack of empathy is most damning.
25
Observer - Rex Reed
The Road Within backfires by emphasizing the same quirks and imbalances it seeks to soften. Reducing it to the genre of idiot comedy doesn’t advance the cause, either.
