The Road - Reviews

Test Screening Comments

The movie had a test screening in New York City on October 15. The sound, music, and some of the visuals were incomplete. Some of the people who saw the movie had read the book, but at least one had not. These are not formal reviews of a finished film, but are informal comments posted to various message boards on movie that has not been polished yet.
