eye Weekly Jason Anderson Laboriously presented, overacted and bloated with self-importance, it's really just a rote revenge thriller with pretensions. | 1 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli As adaptations go, Reservation Road is imperfect; as movies go, it is a flawed presentation of compelling material and intriguing characters. | 13 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Even the best actors -- and I'd rank Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Ruffalo among their generation's finest -- can't save a movie that aims for tragedy but stalls at soap opera. | 10 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs While it isn't exactly a dead end, Reservation Road is too bumpy and features too many switchbacks that ultimately don't make the trip within it any more interesting. | 8 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer While the performances are fine, Reservation Road quickly adopts an excessively maudlin tone along with highly improbable plot turns. | 7 | |
