Despite its contrivances, Reservation Road is moving at times, and that's largely due to the skill of its cast.

Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Fresh

It starts with devastation and closes, after a few reels of narrative dithering, with a climax of hairpin emotional turns and indisputable power.

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Rotten

A film of distinguished performances that rise above a coincidence-riddled and perfunctory screenplay -- without redeeming it.

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten

Reservation Road is a car wreck of a movie about an auto accident. It's designed as a psychological suspense film, but every character development and plot twist can be seen far in advance. It's a mystery with no guessing.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten

An exercise in frustration and wasted opportunities.

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
