Critic Reviews

  • Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times

    "Where the Road Meets the Sun" is earnest but inorganic, trying hard but uninvolving, with little to actually say about the big, mixed-up intersection of crazy and unbelievable that is Los Angeles at its best.

  • Daniel M. Gold, New York Times

    This movie serves best as a tutorial on what happens when the genre is botched: It fails to deliver a single story worth caring about.

  • Brent Simon, Shockya.com

    A sprawling, somewhat self-consciously multi-ethnic drama of struggling immigrants that, despite some relaxed performances, repeatedly identifies plausibility as an enemy, and never locates a truly compelling through-line.
