Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter You'll find Will Dennis' first feature enjoyable, even as you're all too aware of its narrative gears moving too heavily. Apr 29, 2020 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe I'm not saying the director should stick to developing apps himself. But he might have made a better movie if he'd committed to Rocky Road from the start. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 24, 2020 Full Review Peter Canavese Celluloid Dreams A lot better than it sounds on paper...a funny, moving, and charming independent debut. Rated: 3.5/4 May 17, 2020 Full Review Martha K. Baker KDHX (St. Louis) It's not a film with intriguing camera angles or special effects, yet it appeals far more than one might think just reading the blurbs. May 14, 2020 Full Review Jordan Calhoun Black Nerd Problems And that's where Vanilla gets interesting, being less of a will-they-or-won't-they question of their relationship, but instead measuring a character's responses (and thus an audience's comfort) with dating a sex worker. May 13, 2020 Full Review Lael Loewenstein FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) [The stars] had some crackling intensity and chemistry, but I really wanted to spend more time with her than I did with him, so at the end I wasn't really rooting for their relationship that much.

Audience Member Boring movie, filled with underlying political tones, when did road trip movies get political??? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member I really liked the movie's demeanor. Except the end was really depressing, as a lonely male. That said I had just gone through a break up when watching it. And so a sad ending was not great for me. But normally I'm very glad to see non-typical/predictable endings. I think it's a good movie. And I guess the ending wasn't all that depressing… Still some good messages there! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A little to hipster progressive for me but an easy watch 2.5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/20 Full Review Read all reviews
