1/4

The presentation of Tourette's syndrome may be authentic, but everything else about the movie - the emotions, the characters, the situations - rings false.

he Road Within backfires by emphasizing the same quirks and imbalances it seeks to soften. Reducing it to the genre of idiot comedy doesn't advance the cause, either.

"The Road Within" suffers from midfilm wandering and a hasty ending, but the message of self-acceptance rings true and clear.

If you're interested in a film for character study, The Road Within is a good start.

A little clichéd and overdramatic at points, but features some great performances from Robert Sheehan, Dev Patel and Robert Patrick.

The Road Within is ultimately feel-good, the characters certainly diverse in their personalities as well as their disorders, and the underlying message isn't too heavy-handed.

This film is ok but it doesn't exactly cover new ground and its not especially memorable. The comedy is pretty obvious - there's the guy with Tourettes who swears, using very strong language regularly and a character with OCD who has very rigid rules and doesn't like to be put in unpredictable situations. The characters are somewhat quirky and likeable despite these traits. As road films go, its ok. I liked that there is a sense of freedom within it but it still felt a bit too predictable for my liking overall. I liked that the adult characters were put in some funny situations though and it was pretty watchable and entertaining regardless. I wouldn't go out of your way to see this film, no.

3.7 . Playing a person with a disability has to be tough I’d imagine . Everyone was cast perfectly and nothing was unbelievable or ingeniune

Beautiful insight as we follow three initially lost teenagers find their way in life, both literally and figuratively, all the while dealing with personal demons and the real world.
