New York Daily News -
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.

Los Angeles Times -
The Road Within suffers from midfilm wandering and a hasty ending, but the message of self-acceptance rings true and clear.
|
|
Village Voice -
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.
|
|
Slant Magazine -
The film's tired sentimentality aside, its general lack of empathy is most damning.

|
Observer -
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.
