1.5/4
In the end, Carmo, Hit the Road suffers from an inability to decide what it wants to present. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times 10/15/2010
2.5/4
It's not a memorable ride, but there's enough rueful humor, tropical sensuality and borrowed style along the way to make it pleasant. Go to Full Review Eric Hynes Time Out 10/13/2010
2/5
Pasta's maximalist approach repels any emotional investment, even as Loureiro and Martnez make for an appealing screen couple among the appalling settings. Go to Full Review Prairie Miller Critics' Choice Movies 10/15/2010
Euro-Brazilian director Pasta casts a contemptuous eye on the exotic masses around him, characterizing the underclass as duplicitous and depraved, and mentally challenged at best. Forget about how it all ended up that way. Poverty porn, Brazilian style. Go to Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com 10/13/2010

"Carmo, Hit the Road" is the work of an inexperienced filmmaker nearly capable of making a competent film, something "Carmo, Hit the Road" is not. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/24/2012 One of best films from Brazil that I have ever seen so far. The characters portrayed in the film and the landscape of Matto Grosso do Sul/Boliva/Argentine Andes are fascinating. The two leads did excellent jobs, especially Mariana Loureiro who played Carmo, so is Fele Martínez who played Marco. There are some really funny scenes, particularly with Seu Jorge's cameo appearance. The soundtracks are also excellent. I enjoyed this little gem from Brazil tremendously.

The best is the fantastic photo and landscapes of South America. See more 10/18/2009 A fun independent-genre road movie that caused some stir at Sundance Film Festival, recently. The story takes us deep into South America. I guess it is a mixture of a hit-and-run flick in the "Bonny and Clyde" style and also has a lot in common with the "Y Tu Mama Tambien" film atmosphere - I guess it borrows a lot from the latter. Definitely worth checking out. See more Read all reviews
