The Road movie review

Okay, how does anyone with a username of "bloodmeridian2004" watch an adaptation of McCarthy's work objectively?

I don't.

And for the first hour or so of the film, I could feel just the twinge of a mirgraine.

I wanted to hate this film.

But--I became emotionally engaged and the ending moved me.

And that's how I judge movies.

If I was moved, it worked.

And it reinforced the notion that endings are important.

As credits rolled, most of us shuffled out fighting back tears--and I don't think we could have offered the filmmakers a better compliment than that.
