Critic Reviews
-
Jon Frosch, The Atlantic
Salles brings evocative images, fresh faces, and some fine emotional shadings to the famous tale of friendship, love, sex, drugs, jazz, literature, and the American landscape.
-
Justin Chang, Variety
Despite the high level of craft here, it's an inadequate substitute for the thrilling, sustaining intelligence of Kerouac's voice.
-
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
Salles, an intelligent director whose films include "The Motorcycle Diaries," doesn't invest "On the Road" with the wildness it needs for its visual style, narrative approach and leads.
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
What he doesn't give us - and what makes the book work - is Kerouac's bedazzled bohemian swoon. Without it, On the Road is a curiously remote experience, all reason and no rhyme.
-
Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter
While the film's dramatic impact is variable, visually and aurally it is a constant pleasure.
