If you read the reviews and cinema fan opinions from France, from South America, Italy and Portugal, you'll find there are major critics, novelists and philosophers who've responded not only enthusiastically, but poetically and lyrically about their love for the film. And then there are major filmmakers like Atom Egoyan, who said on stage at the Whistler Film Festival, "'Road to Nowhere' is one of the most extraordinary films I have ever seen."
And Olivier Assayas was recently quoted while on his way to be on the Jury in Cannes, " I was moved by the troubling poetry of 'Road to Nowhere'...it reminds one of the physical impact that great cinema can have. 'Road to Nowhere' is like a shot to the heart."
And closer to home, Noel Lawrence was also enthusiastic:
"A lot of cynics told me ROAD TO NOWHERE couldn't be as good as people said it was. I saw the film last night.. and let the record reflect it is THAT GOOD. While enigmatic as anything Lynch ever shot, its relaxed pacing and subdued direction liberate the film from stylized gimmickry and make its labyrinthine storyline all the more disturbing. ROAD TO NOWHERE will supply grist to the film theory mill for the next half-century." - Noel Lawrence
