Four short stories are set along the roads of Donbass during the war. There are no safe spaces and no one can make sense of just what is going on. Even as they are trapped in the chaos, some manage to wield authority over others. But in this world, where tomorrow may never come, not everyone is defenseless and miserable. Even the most innocent victims may have their turn at taking charge.

Justin Chang Los Angeles Times Impressively restrained in its flirtation with full-bore horror, it’s a reminder that when inhumanity is the everyday norm, there may be few things more futile -- or dangerous -- than the stirrings of individual conscience. Apr 28, 2022 Full Review Claire Shaffer New York Times The four wartime stories in “Bad Roads” fall short on delivering any meaningful insight into the nature of conflict, relying instead on moments of lackluster tension and shock value that greatly overstay their welcome. Apr 28, 2022 Full Review Alissa Simon Variety Although the various episodes don't quite add up to a strong narrative whole, they do gain extra resonance from current events in this troubled region. Dec 21, 2021 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies The apprehension and heaviness in Bad Roads may put you off, but it won’t leave you indifferent. Rated: 3.5/5 May 8, 2022 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills While the theatrical roots sometimes show through, this debut feature still summons considerable power in evoking the cruelty and hopelessness that become status quo in civilian areas overtaken by such conflicts... May 4, 2022 Full Review Phil Guie Film-Forward.com Twists and turns abound with the most satisfying moments being those in which relationships and expectations of who has power get turned onto their heads.
