Reviews

Variety - Joe Leydon
Gutto demonstrates welcome restraint and a meticulous avoidance of anything that resembles exploitation, relying on indirect yet impactful allusions to keep us constantly aware of the mortal stakes involved. All in all, this is a singularly promising debut for a first-time feature filmmaker.
50
Screen Daily - Tim Grierson
Juliette Binoche may play a seasoned truck driver with a firm grip on the wheel, but Paradise Highway proves to be an unsteady ride, guided by intriguing ideas but hampered by generic tendencies.
42
The A.V. Club - Luke Y. Thompson
As intriguing as the combination of Binoche and Grillo might sound, it would be much more impactful if they shared the screen for more than a handful of scenes. As such, the movie begins with a bang, but it ends with a whimper.
40
The New York Times - Concepción de León
If only the film had taken a broader view, filling in more details about the lives and motivations of the truck drivers as well as the sex traffickers.

If you squint you can nearly see the kind of movie Gutto might be aiming for.
